It's now possible to reinstall Windows 11 from the Cloud

Microsoft has just added an extremely handy feature to its operating system. The American company now allows users to perform a clean reinstallation of Windows 11 from the cloud.

In the event of an abrupt shutdown during an operating system update or a more serious malfunction, it’s not uncommon for a user to be unable to boot their computer properly. One solution is to completely reinstall Windows to start over from scratch. Until now, this process required using a USB drive or another working PC to fix the problem.

From now on, all you’ll need to do is use the Cloud Rebuild feature to download and reinstall Windows 11 using an OS image stored on Microsoft’s servers. The drivers will also be restored. It’s important to note that any apps, settings, and other files on the PC will be erased. Still, this remains a good solution if Windows can no longer boot up.
