Though, Microsoft had earlier offered its users the ability to reset a PC and restore it back on original installation, it has launched its new tool to clean install—that will wipe all the bloatware installed by the PC manufacturer and install a full clean copy of Windows 10.
However, the tool is currently available only to Windows Insiders, and work only to will only work on recent Windows 10 Insider Preview released builds (build 14342 or later). It appears that Microsoft prefers to test it before releasing it more widely.
‘The build installed by this tool is not guaranteed to be the latest build available to Insiders, and at times may install a Windows 10 build that is older that you had previously. Should this apply when you use the tool, you will be unable to keep your personal files, and will be notified during Windows Setup, with the option to cancel. After the clean installation, you can set your Windows Insider Program settings to rejoin your desired Insider Preview ring and get the latest build for that audience,’ Microsoft had said.
The tool supports three languages, namely English, Japanese and Chinese.
