Users seeking to reinstall Windows 10 will quickly be able to do so just by going online, Microsoft has revealed

The most recent Windows 10 Insider Preview Build features a new option when resetting your PC that will tie to a cloud download of Windows.

So far, anyone seeking to reinstall Windows would have required to use an external copy from the software, or decide to utilise a nearby copy, which is often already stored on a PC and therefore at risk of corruption or any other faults.

Reset

The brand new choice is included included in the "Reset this PC" menu within the Recovery section of Windows Settings, and can reinstall the same build, version, and edition of Windows that was placed on the unit. Previously, Reset this PC used local files to build a new Windows installation from exisiting files.

This new cloud download option is open to all Windows 10 devices and it is not the same as the "Recover from the cloud" feature available on some earlier Windows 10 devices. Microsoft says the brand new addition was inspired by users saying they'd would rather use their high-speed internet connection to hurry in the re-install process just by downloading Windows.

The company adds that doing this will remove any apps installed on the unit - which if the "Remove everything" choice is selected, then user data is going to be deleted as well.

Microsoft is going to be hoping that the new release helps encourage even more uptake of the latest versions of Windows 10.

Recent figures in the company reveal that its Windows 10 May 2019 Update rollout has accelerated speedily, using the upgrade now on 33 percent of Windows 10 machines -that figure having tripled since the previous month.
