    wow, okay this is a good tool for sure.
     
    However being as OCD as I am, I would still do a clean install.

    Not exactly helpful  if it warns of you losing your digital licenses by doing it....
     
     
    You may lose your digital licenses, digital content associated with applications, or other digital entitlements for applications as a result of using the tool, which may impact your ability to use apps you paid for or app-related content you paid for. For this reason, we don’t recommend using this tool on any PC where you wish to ensure all of your applications and application-related content (including Microsoft applications such as Office) remain properly installed and licensed.

    Boy, I love the title of this thread... ending part states "with a clean install". Did we all forget that you have a clean system after a "clean install"?

    Holy attention to detail Batman. Good point. Why use a cleaning tool, when you will already clean it with a clean install. We all missed that. Good job.
