Reinstalling Windows is an important strategy for any geek, and a useful skill for anybody who doesn’t want to pay one.
By starting over with a clean copy of the operating system, you can remove bloatware, wipe out malware, and fix other system problems. A full, clean reinstall is different from the Refresh or Reset your PC options in Windows 8, or a manufacturer’s recovery partition or disk for Windows 7. Those built-in options will set your PC back to its factory-default state—which could include some vendor-installed junk you never wanted anyway.
A clean install uses the generic Windows installation media that you can download from Microsoft, and it’ll have just the OS, no other frills. You shouldn’t need to regularly reinstall Windows to keep it performing well. Reinstalling Windows can also save a computer infected with malware or afflicted by blue-screens and other system problems caused by software issues. Before we begin, back up all of your personal data. Windows 8. Windows Picture Passwords – are they really as “easily crackable” as everyone’s saying? If you've used Windows 8, or even just seen the ads for it, you'll know it has a feature called Picture Passwords.
You choose a picture, any picture, and then "annotate" it with three finger movements: you can tap a point, draw a stroke, or sweep a circle. The picture helps you to remember where you made the gestures, so you can repeat them reliably enough to pass the test and unlock your device. If you have a touch screen tablet, Picture Passwords are surprisingly handy. (Pun intended.) But how safe are they? One of the ads I've seen for Windows 8 made a pretty big deal out of the coolness of Picture Passwords, and illustrated their convenience with a login sequence to which my immediate reaction was, "Surely not? " The ad showed a picture of someone's two young daughters, heads close together and looking at some distant object; the password involved circling their heads and then drawing a line in the direction they were looking. But what did the researchers really find? Customizing the Windows 8.1 Start Screen? Don’t follow Microsoft’s guidance.
For enterprises, Windows 8.1 delivers the control around the Start Screen that should have been there in Windows 8.0, although I’m sure what they’ve delivered won’t appease everyone as there’s still no programmatic way to pin or unpin shortcuts from the Start Screen.
Windows 8.1 introduces a Group Policy method for distributing a Start Screen layout, but that’s a policy – i.e. it’s enforced and unless you’re a control freak, that approach only makes sense in specific cases (e.g. schools, kiosks etc.). Note that Start Screen control is only available in Windows 8.1 Enterprise and Windows RT 8.1, so you’re either paying SA or delivering the Surface RT/2 (or maybe even the Lumia 2520) to your users. Microsoft have an article available on TechNet that describes a number of ways that you can configure the default Start Screen experience that will work for Windows 8/8.1, Window Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2, but the choices are: Each one of those approaches looks tedious.
