Many of us may have faced issues in reinstalling the Windows operating system in our PCs. After a few months or years, the performance of the system starts to degrade, and this is the time when we really face issues with the operating system. In such cases, we tend to install a disc and spend a full day re-installing the operating system and all the apps. However, this does not always turn out to be successful either.
In most cases, the actual reasons for the deterioration of the performance of the PC emerge from the hardware issues in the system, rather than from the operating system. This may also be due to the apps the user has installed in the computer. The PC rot has always been a major issue in Windows 7. However, many users feel that this version is much better as compared to the earlier ones. Hence, Microsoft has decided to fix this issue in the next version of Windows that would make the re-installing of the operating system easier and faster than ever. The advanced Windows 8 features include a Reset button, which would enable the users to reinstall Windows without using a disc.
According to Microsoft, in the latest version of the operating system, the user just needs to scroll down to the bottom of the General area in the Windows 8 settings, and choose the appropriate action, wherein a system refresh would re-install Windows 8 without removing the user’s files or data. Along with it, some of the apps that existed in the system would also remain intact. However, if the user is confused with the procedure, the Windows 8 features also provide a facility: you can choose the Reset your PC and start over option to remove all data on your computer, and simply restore it to factory conditions. Some PC makers have been offering this feature on notebook and desktop computers by setting aside protected partitions on the hard drive with a system restore image. However, now it is built right into the operating system. This will definitely make more users upgrade their systems to Windows 8, and Microsoft would be able to retain its customers and expand its business.
Either way, the process of reinstalling the operating system in Windows 8 PCs is designed to run much more quickly than an old-fashioned Windows install, using a disc.
