About

Windows Care Kit carries your settings, files, and app list across a Windows reinstall and puts

them back in the right place. Every destructive action is a dry-run first, behind an explicit

approval gate, and it is radically honest — it tells you exactly what cannot transfer

(machine-bound credentials, DPAPI-protected data) instead of faking success. Covers the full

format lifecycle: Uninstall, Clean, pre-format Backup, Reinstall, and Migration. The installer

is component-based: install only the modules you want. Open-source, ad-free, .NET 10. Beta.
