ASR would be similar to just doing a backup with system state
and then restoring after the fresh install, which you indicate you
have reason for not wanting to do.
Simply copying profiles is no longer an advised way of doing
things. There is now stuff stored there that is SID sensitive as
well as controlled by encryption based on a hash of the password.
The Fast approach would be very tedious if there are many accounts,
but it will handle things like Office product identities, email storage,
etc. which is otherwise a little tricky.
In the long run, trying for a shortcut based on simple copy out
and copy back will probably end up being more effort (again,
depending on how much of this you need to do)
