Windows 10 is about to get what Apple OS X has had for quite some time ; Internet re-installation.
That is sort of cool. I can't tell you how many people need the media to repair or reload their OS and they just don't have it like in the old days where you got a CD or Floppy Diskette to do some repair or re-installation with a Product Key code.
Today, the activation is linked to the hardware in some fashion, and a reload hopefully will put back the operating system that it currently is using, not some default Home edition.
One will just need between 3-5GB of spare storage space on an existing partition that hopefully will either get wiped or refreshed, and then the reboot cycles, approximately 2-3 reboots before windows re-installation actually occurs.
By the way, the v1803 versus v1903 installation steps are vastly different too, so watch out.
I wonder what keystroke one will get to hold down like OS X, Command+R, so maybe Control+Alt+R for Windows to launch the Remote or Internet or Re-installation procedure, under Secure boot or not. Hopefully that will not be allowed on a domain controller set of PCs which will/could totally evade security boundaries and protection mechanisms, exposure directly to the Internet, so on and so forth.
So, let's just see what happens. I have an idea that Internet bandwidth choking will occur for a little while, especially for the older people on DSL and slower speed Internet connections, who believe in the days of a Restore Point will solve everything, when it does not and actually causes more problems in the end.
