Windows 10 cloud reinstall option coming soon

It appears Windows 10 is scheduled to get a new feature that could save users a lot of effort while reinstalling their operating system. It’s a feature that MacOS has enjoyed for quite some time now. Dubbed “Cloud download”, the feature is expected to be found in Windows’ reset options in Settings along with “Reset locally”, which means users reinstalling Windows 10 in the future can either choose to use a local image or download it afresh from the cloud.

The news of the new Windows 10 reset method that Microsoft is currently working on comes in the form of a tweet sent by WalkingCat. According to the tweet, the boot menu in the leaked Windows Build 18950 (for the upcoming 201H1 update) gives the user an option to reinstall the existing operating system using a local image or download Windows from the cloud. This build has reportedly been leaked before its official roll-out to the Windows Insider Fast ring users.

An earlier report by groovyPost claims that Microsoft Surface devices such as the Surface Book and Surface Pro already come with an option to download the Windows 10 image from the cloud at the time of setup. “Recover from the Cloud is especially handy if your recovery partition is corrupt. Microsoft has not documented the feature anywhere on its official Surface web page,” writes groovyPost in its report while explaining how to use the feature.

Earlier this week, another leaked internal Windows 10 build showed us that Microsoft is working on a redesign of the Start menu in which the popular Live Tiles are missing and the icons are unnaturally large. You can see how the new Start menu that’s still in development looks here. The redesigned Start menu and Cloud download feature aren’t expected in the stable release of Windows 10 till June next year.

Official Nothing Phone 2 hints and teasers 1. Semi-transparent USB-C cable pic.twitter.com/LOYjBLa5UZ — Carl Pei (@getpeid) June 19, 2023 So, the top portion of USB-C connector of Nothing Phone 2 sports the signature "transparent design language" of the brand. You can see the Nothing brandng through the transparent part. Carl calls it "nice" and we agree. It does look nice but we are concerned whether it will be discoloured in time.  2.
