Resetting Windows 8

If your computer is acting weird, slow or you suspect a virus, Windows 8 has two great new features that will help you get back to normal again.

  1. “Refresh” will keep your documents and pictures, but you’ll have to reinstall most of the programs on your computer.
  2. “Reset” will completely remove everything from your computer and put it back the way it was when you got it.

Both of these are just a few clicks away and they will guide you through the process. More information is available here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-pc

If you’re an uber geek, you can create custom reset images so that when you reset your PC, it can reset with a bunch of your regular apps pre-installed.
