Yes, that's true and if you say, the same would have happened for a
clean Windows reinstall, they don't believe you, anyway...

You could also simply save the data. I guess many of those doing Linux
support also have many years of experience with Windows - so you
probably know where the data is. I do. And I back that up and then
wipe the machine. Prior to this I usually use CloneZilla to create an
image.
