With the release of Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18970, as usual many features and improvements have been added. One of the improvements among them is related to Recovery. A new Reset this PC option using the Cloud download has been added.
Reset this PC now provides its users a new choice where one can choose to download Windows or use local reinstall. Previously, Reset this PC was only able to do a local reinstall and
would build a new Windows installation from existing Windows files. It provided the advantage of enabling Windows to be recoverable without
requiring extra disk space to store a compressed, backup copy of Windows
in a hidden partition.
After receiving various feedback from users that they would prefer to use high speed internet connection to speed up this process by just downloading Windows, Microsoft acted on it. The cloud download option will reinstall the same build, version, and
edition, that is currently installed on your device. This new cloud
download option is available to all Windows 10 devices and is different
from the “Recover from the cloud” feature available on some earlier
Windows 10 devices.
Note: This is a recovery operation and will remove apps you have installed. Additionally, if the “Remove everything” option is selected, user data will also be deleted.
There are some known issues: The cloud download option is not currently working when specific optional features are installed. The process will begin, but an error will occur and roll back the changes. To work around this issue, remove the optional features before trying the cloud download option.
