Microsoft has just launched a new feature called Reset this PC from the Cloud – which lets users do a fresh install of Windows with files downloaded from Microsoft’s servers, without having to download an extra installation file (Windows ISO). The advantage of this feature is that the device does not use up extra storage and the process is faster.

Microsoft also notes that with the Windows 10 20H1 update, the Reset this PC from the Cloud feature will not work if your Windows has any of the following optional features set up:

“EMS and SAC Toolset for Windows 10, IrDA, Print Management Console, RAS Connection Manager Administration Kit (CMAK), RIP Listener, all RSAT tools, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Windows Fax and Scan, Windows Storage Management, Wireless Display, WMI SNMP Provider”.

This feature was first rolled out for testing in build Windows 10 20H1 18970, and is planned to roll out to users worldwide in Q1 2020. Microsoft has allowed Insider users to download and try this ISO at the link below:

• ISO Windows 10 20H1 18970

SEE THE GUIDE TO USING RESET THIS PC FROM THE CLOUD

If you have downloaded and installed Windows 10 20H1 build 18970 from the link above, follow these steps:

• Go to Settings > Update & Security > click the Recovery tab

• Here you will have 3 options; if you have cleaned up Windows 10 with Cleanup, only 2 options remain: Reset this PC and Advanced Startup .
• Click Get started under Reset this PC, and Windows gives you two choices: Keep my files and Remove everything . This is up to you; I usually choose Keep my files so I do not lose data on the other drives.

​

• Next, Windows lets you choose between 2 options: “Cloud download” – reinstall through Microsoft’s servers, and Local Reinstall – reinstall locally). Select Cloud download.

For the next steps, just click Reset to confirm, and you are done. The device will restart automatically and start installing Windows 10. This is an extremely useful feature, so give it a try.
