My first question would be - why?
You basically have 2 options -
A full system backup. This would include all the plugins, but would include everything else. When you restore, You may be back to where you started. This might include problems, if that is the reason for the reimage.
A clean install. This would get rid of bloat, junk in the registry, etc etc, but yea, it would be starting over. A lot of plugins, you just stick the dll in a dir, point Reaper too and and done, but a lot have to be installed.
So, again, why? If you are having issues with the OS, what have you done so far?
There really is no need to reformat and reinstall "just because" on a modern OS. If you are having issues, I would suggest dealing with those first. I would consider a reimage a last resort (and I've done a lot of re-images over the decades).
