I wish I could upvote multiple times: 20 years ago, I sent so much time crawling around the attic and running cable through walls, now I’m looking to upgrade but am not willing to do that again. I really wish I had taken a little more time and run conduit

I have an old old house, as in serval generations of wire running through it. It’s a nightmare to redo. Been through conduit every chance I can, no more spidernests and crisscrossing wires for me!

Have you pulled the old wiring? I’ve been tempted to pull the phone wiring in my house. I suppose maybe coax also since I haven’t used that in years but it seems too early to get rid of that

In parts, I’m doing it one leg at a time from the electrical box to the next junction box (have both in place next to each other kill the circuit move the old lines I haven’t got to yet into the new box to the new source, power on and test it, remove to old line.). I’m also adding breakers so luckly that gives me more leway too.
