The Windows 8 Refresh Your PC Feature

As recently illustrated on the Windows 8 Build blog Windows 8 comes with new features to Reset or Refresh your PC. The Reset Feature basically triggers a complete new installation of Windows 8 without taking care of any personal data hence this option should only be used when you have your data backed up already or when you intend to hand-out the system to someone else and you want to ensure that the system doesn’t have any personal data or settings stored. The Refresh option allows you to re-install Windows 8 but it will take care of your personal data, settings and Metro Style applications e.g. once the Windows 8 operating system installation has completed the user will still have access to his data and personalization settings. Furthermore the Refresh Your PC feature allows you not just to install a clean version of Windows 8 but one that does already include some of your self-installed applications so that you don’t have to install them all from scratch again.
