Hello, and thanks for reading.
Yesterday I went from Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro using the Upgrade Assistant. I just did the upgrade and didn't do a clean install. Now, I want to use the Windows 8 Reset feature, but have a question. After it wipes the hard drive, will I have to reinstall Windows 8 using external media, or does it reinstall itself? I want to reset, but I don't want to wipe the drive, and then find out that I have to re-download Windows 8, burn a DVD and actually install the OS myself. Thank you for your help!
PS. Just joined forum, so excuse me if this is in the wrong section. Please move if needed.
