Jason ticked off a slew of caveats for Refresh Windows, including some during what he referred to as the "preview period" of testing with Insider members. The term "OEM" (original equipment manufacturers) refers to computer makers such as Dell, Hewlett-Packard and Lenovo.įor that reason, Refresh Windows would be best used immediately after purchasing a new Windows 10 system, and before the buyer installed any software on the machine. "It will also remove most pre-installed applications such as OEM applications, support applications, and drivers," wrote Jason. More importantly, all non-Microsoft applications that were bundled or already installed on Windows 10 - the exception include the Mail email client and the Edge browser - are eliminated during the refresh.
According to the forum message - which was penned by a Microsoft employee identified only as "Jason" - Refresh Windows downloads and installs a recent, pristine build of Windows 10 on the PC, overwriting the pre-installed version.
