[QUOTE="Saltgrass, post: 354331, member: 7562"] We may need to keep the Reset and Refresh processes separate for clarity. And since true 8.1 systems are coming online, I suppose we also need to reference just the 8 to 8.1 updated systems. You should be able to Reset your system, but it would be back to a Windows 8 configuration using the factory image in the large Recovery partition. I don't think having the 8.1 install files would make a difference here. A Windows 8.1 Refresh is not an option, if you don't have the 8.1 install files, unless you have created a [I]CustomRefreshImage[/I] when your system was working normally. I have not done any restores, but I am running a 250 GB hard drive and the setting for my restore points is 5%. Maybe you could increase the available space to allow your restore points to build up.
