    Reset my pc reinstalled PRO!


    I have just bought a new laptop which can with Home (key bios embedded).

    I upgraded to Pro, and messed around but did something dumb (don't ask) and I decided to reset my pc from cloud option.

    Imagine my surprise, that it reverted to factory state including all the Asus stuff including McAffee. There was a small oem partition that obviously took control.

    I always though a cloud reset would install without the crapware.

    However what really surprised me was that it reinstalled as Pro not as Home!

    In the past, reset my pc always reinstalled as Home (if you had a bios embedded key), and you had to reupgrade to Pro.

    Now it reinstalls the version on place at time of doing reinstallation. This is a ice change.

    OEM customisations, drivers and utilities are provided in case of a reset being needed as a provisioning package in C\Recovery\Customizations. It it's there then a reset should find and use it.

    Create Provisioning Package in Windows 10

    Now that is a really pleasant surprise.....
