    If I read it right jds63 it WILL save 3rd party apps. Take a look at some of the replies on Shawn's tutorial
    O.k. i did not read the replies, but the tutorial i never knew myself how a clean install could, but whole tutorial was new to me seeing it now.

    Wish Shawn would have made this one BEFORE I did my clean install....darn..

    A lot to read in replies to find where it said would save 3rd party apps, but will save this one in case i need it as i am already on a clean install from end of July so far have not had any issues with Windows 10 Pro. Let's see if we can finish helping this person.

    Ok kool, I did mind the other method, and spent around 3 days reinstalling all my registered apps. Not fun!! I have a lot of programs I paid for, and finding all their keys and reg #'s plus on 1 or 2 I had to either call them on phone or send emails to get them re-registered. groan....

    Confirmed that this method of clean install will not save 3rd party apps as most clean installs will not.
