Operating System Recovery
There’s a Windows recovery partition on the Intel NUC. You can use this partition to Refresh, Reset,
or Restore Windows. Here is what each of these actions do:
Refresh If your PC isn't performing as well as it once did, and you don't know why, you
can refresh your PC. This action doesn’t delete any of your personal files or
change your settings. Refresh does the following:
 Files and personalization settings won’t change.

PC settings are changed back to their defaults.
 Apps from the Windows Store are kept.
 Apps installed from disks or websites are removed.
 List of removed apps is saved on the desktop.
Reset If you want to recycle your PC, give it away, or start over with it, you can reset
it completely. This process removes everything. Reset does the following:
 All personal files and apps are removed.
 PC settings are changed back to their defaults.
 Windows is reinstalled.
Restore If a recently installed app or driver is causing problems with your PC, you can
restore Windows back to an earlier point in time, called a restore point.
System Restore doesn’t change your personal files, but it can remove recently
installed apps and drivers.
