I would buy 2 drives, one to load the new OS and the second to create a duplicate after everything is cleaned up so this doesn't happen again.
Fortunately I haven't had to do this in probably 10 years but JGT's suggested way works well. I simplify things for recovery by keeping the boot drive clean and putting data/programs on a separate drive and use another drive as the destination for backups.
