Sounds very good to me.
Windows 10 does away with the reinstallation headaches | PCWorldHow many times has this happened to you? You’re forced to “refresh” Windows with a clean install—and then you wait, and wait, and wait while numerous updates download, install, and bring your PC up to date.
Good news, according to Microsoft—that nightmare is over.
Microsoft said Monday that Windows 10's installation process will offer improvements over Windows 8 in two ways: If the PC can support it, Windows 10 installs in a compressed state, saving a small but important amount of disk space. And even more significantly, if you do need to reinstall, Windows 10 recovers using runtime system files that builds the new operating system from files that are already in place. And you can create your own recovery disk!
Interesting.. what if you have a hardware failure that makes you re-install the OS.. can you use this restore file?? I know.. no idea yet but just wondering out loud.
Sounds like a good idea. Hope it works like MS wants it too.
Sounds cloud based, that only way it work and have a clean if you get a virus.
You can do the same in 8.1 when you create your custom refresh image.
