How to implement Win8 diskless refresh and reset system

This method can perform 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.

Using the shortcut key WIN X, press A to open a 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.

To reset the system, place the Windows 8 installation disk or the sourcesinstall.wim file in the ISO under 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.

Mouse to the bottom right of the Windows8 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;.

To reset, click “Delete all content and reinstall Windows";>Start/Next/Initialize” below.

Both can be performed in the recovery environment after clicking “Advanced Startup"

Notes

recimg /createimage C: You cannot press the Esc key or close the command prompt during execution.

If you make a reset function, the 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 you will lose all applications.
