Fresh Start and yet there is…. elsewhere

As we mentioned in previous publication, some of Windows 10 noticed that the Fresh Start option of their operating system was no longer there after upgrading to Windows 10 2004 version.

The company introduced Fresh Start in 2016 to reinstall a clean version of the operating system directly from the Settings app. But Fresh Start, as we mentioned, has disappeared in the latest Windows 10.

Microsoft recently updated its support page, "Track your device and performance health in Windows Security", or explains what happened at Fresh Start.

According to the information published there, Fresh Start or "New Beginning" as mentioned by Microsoft in Greek has not been removed from the operating system but has been moved to another location.

Microsoft doesn't publish all the changes when releasing a new version of Windows 10 and as the meta shows of Fresh Start was one of them.

The company states on the support page (en-US why in Ελληνικά has not been translated yet):

Fresh Start is available for versions of Windows 10 before 2004. For version 2004 onwards, the Fresh Start feature has been moved to Reset this PC.

You must open Fresh Start by following the path: Start - Settings - Update & Security - Recovery - Restore this computer - Start or Home  - Settings  - Update & Security - Recovery  - Reset this PC - Get Started.

Select “Keep the my” when prompted, choose whether you want Windows to be installed from your PC or from the cloud, change the settings and choose no when prompted to restore preinstalled . Note that the option to restore pre-installed apps only appears if Windows 10 has found installed apps on your device.

The Fresh Start option was moved to Windows 10 Home and Pro. You must have administrator privileges to use this feature
