I did it in my down time at work in a few days on an early 2010ish thinkpad.
The last time i did that was back in the really early 00s (2001 - 2003 maybe)... it took "a while" and multiple failed attempts due to my personal stupidity, but after that i ran the system for the better part of a decade, so i think its time well spend...
Only regarding RAM and a faulty hard drive... the thing was in its later years mostly a gloryfied typewriter which also ran a printserver.
