Implementing Win8 Diskless Refresh and Reset System

This method allows system refresh and reset directly from the system environment and RE environment without installing media. Windows and Office retain activation status, where new refreshes preserve documents and applications, and resets do not. The CustomRefresh.wim file contains system, system updates, desktop software, personal accounts, and most system settings, excluding documents and applications. Run the recimg /createimage C: command to perform an incremental backup. Use the shortcut key WIN+X, press A to open the command prompt (administrator) and allow execution.
Enter recimg /createimage C:, press Enter to execute the command.
After the execution is complete, get the image C:CustomRefresh.wim.
If you need to reset the system, you can put the Windows 8 installation disk or ISO sourcesinstall.wim file in a non-root directory (such as E: WIM) in a non-system partition (such as E:).
Then execute reagentc /setreimage /path E:WIM /index "1", then execute recimg /setcurrent C: to restore the refresh registration that was destroyed by the previous command.
Have the mouse to the bottom right of the Windows 8 system, click “Set/Change PC Settings/General” from the menu.
Refresh clicks & ldquo;Recover your computer without affecting your files & rdquo; Below & ldquo; Start /Next /Restore & rdquo;.
Reset and click “Delete all content and reinstall Windows";>Start/Next/Initialize” below.
Both can be executed in the recovery environment after clicking “Advanced Startup"
Notes
recimg /createimage C: You can not press the Esc key or close the command prompt during execution.
If you make a reset function, reagentc /setreimage /path E:WIM /index "1" and recimg /setcurrent C: commands must be executed, and in order.
If you rename CustomRefresh.wim to install.wim to reset the system, you can achieve the refresh effect, but will lose all applications.
