Windows 8 Restore to Original Factory Settings

[jamescv7]

he evolution to Windows 8 will make it extremely simple for users to wipe the slate clean and start fresh in case their computer starts acting up for whatever reasons from malware infections to faulty drivers.

A new leaked screenshot reportedly from Windows 8 Milestone 2 (M2) shows the upcoming System Restore options that the next major iteration of Windows will feature.

The image, courtesy of Chinese website Win7China (via UltraWindows) reveals the new “Restore to original factory settings” feature which will be introduced in the successor of Windows 7.

Impressive but also not so good for those that work in the field of PC repair.

It seems like many so-called computer repair guys either don't know much, install some malware, or make the problem worse.

Perhaps some do such things, other have considered it a great hobby and way of life and making a living for many years and take great pride and joy in being able to assist those less capable in terms of their PC problems and needs. :wink:

I wonder if this would also wipe computers that are pre-configured with installed junkware (ie. HP, Vaio, Dell etc.).

Pre-installed junk can easily be removed with PC-Decrapifier.

I don't see much of a change from the current windows.
