Most of what it includes is pretty boring, to be honest, but there is one bit of significant interest &#8211; this build lays the groundwork for allowing reinstalls of Windows 10 through the cloud rather than fiddling around with a local install.<\/p>\n<p>Tucked in near the bottom of the update notes, Microsoft says <em>\u201cInsiders may notice some references to \u201cCloud download\u201d relating to PC reset or refresh. This feature isn\u2019t available and working quite yet. We\u2019ll let you know once it is, so you can try it out!\u201d<\/em> It\u2019s not ready yet then, although it sounds as if it\u2019s not too far off from becoming reality.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>MacOS users will be aware that exactly such a feature is already available for macOS. It sounds as if it\u2019s going to work in much the same way on Windows 10, allowing users to automatically install the latest available version of the operating system. Traditional OS reinstalls rely on creating a recover partition on either your HDD\/SSD or flash storage. Windows can then use this partition to store important files and folders which are then restored upon OS reinstall. With cloud reinstalls, Microsoft would simply pull down the appropriate information directly from the web.<\/p>\n<p>On MacOS, users are given the options of: a cloud install of the latest version of macOS; a cloud reinstall of the original version of masOS which came with the computer; a local reinstall from the built-in recovery disk.<\/p>\n<p><ins class=\"adsbygoogle scrolling-ad-item\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0052787453283862\" data-ad-slot=\"2741061911\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p>For proficient PC users this probably won\u2019t make much of a difference on Windows 10. However, cloud reinstalls will greatly simplify the process of recovering OS installs across a wide range of devices from all sorts of PC providers. It\u2019s a further shift towards a cloud-based operating system of course, but it\u2019s hopefully all in the aim of making Windows 10 easier to use and easier to troubleshoot.<\/p>\n<p>Our Favorite Comments<\/p>\n<p>5 <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One thing that I&#8217;ve learned is to NEVER use backups on windows. It always ends up messing your system up. Windows is just so unreliable and easy to break. There are tons of solutions to your problem once things go bad, but none of them work. It&#8217;s just sad that windows is till the same as lets say&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>GreekBlood &#8211; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>System Requirements Low vs Ultra Screenshots GPU Performance Chart CPU List That Meet System Requirements&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2334,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[433,432,431,434,430],"class_list":["post-2333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-game-news","tag-cloud","tag-confirms","tag-microsoft","tag-restore","tag-windows"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2333","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2333"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2333\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2334"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2333"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/game8k.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
