Microsoft is "inspired" by one of Apple's best ideas: restoring the PC from the cloud without the need for technicians

Microsoft has introduced a new feature called 'Cloud rebuild' for Windows 11, allowing users to restore their computers directly from the cloud without needing a USB drive, installation discs, or technical assistance. This function is currently available in a preview version through the Windows Insider Program and represents a major change in Windows recovery processes. The feature downloads the necessary files directly from the internet, eliminating the need for a bootable USB or prior system backups. It automatically installs the appropriate version of Windows 11 along with device drivers, enabling the computer to function correctly after a failure. This update reduces reliance on external tools and simplifies the recovery process for less technically savvy users. The functionality resembles a similar feature offered by Apple for its Mac computers.
