Is there not a way you just reinstall the WINDOWS 8.1 system files like you can with APPLE OS ? Apples OS / Mackbook pro is very easy and actually just a click of a few buttons and it reinstalls the OS without having to reinstall any of the other software. . Its simple and does not take much time. This question was sparked because, when I upgraded to windows 10 from 8.1.........it just installed the new operating system WITHOUT deleting ANY of my programs and actually CLEARED up some of the problems i was having with 8.1 but for other reasons I had to go back to windows 8.1.......
I now, sit here contemplating reinstalling windows for the 5th time due to failed SSDs and some system file / firewall issues that Microsoft cant figure out. They tell me to do a system refresh but I don't want to have to reinstall all my programs. It is also very time consuming.
SO guys............please tell me there is a way to refresh JUST the windows operating system and registry? or something..........vs having to do a whole clean install again. .............. I dread having to reinstall all my work and personal programs.
I have done all the SFC /scannow and Chkdsk and dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth ( not so sure what that does actually....or where it gets the image from but I ran them and came back with no errors.
Anyone know if this is possible and how?
Thanks in advance, for any helpful feedback or comments.
