  New fresh/clean system, import my public key and good to go.

  I use a hardware key for some things, also. But I don't want my recovery to be dependent on it. At some point in the recovery a new hardware key would need to be purchased and restored.

  I have at least one backup of it, I don't use software keys at all, nobody with admin access does. I have given them all hardware keys.
