hello,

I would like to ask about refresh host. Is it good like clean install ? Why I ask because Soon will come Windows 10 R4 and I am going to do than refresh host on Windows 10 R3 with ISO Windows 10 R4 but I am not sure that it is a good way to do that?

Regards
 
Hi,

it is the way how Windows will autoupdate itself all over the world, and Insiders use it, so it should be good.
There could be minor setting resets, but nothing major.

If you remove the same set of components as before, there will also not be any potential leftovers.
Meaning if you had a component present in RS3, then removed it in RS4 ISO, the migration mechanism during the upgrade will most probably copy the RS3 expanded settings of that component.
To mitigate that, remove the unwanted components in RS3 before the upgrade.

That's all that comes to mind, I use it all the time.
 
Nuhi, some people say that refreshing Windows 10 makes less performance than the clean installation. What do You think about this?
Is difference between refresh by Windows 10 and rehresh by NTlite?
 
@Venosaur, there is a potential that Refresh migrates settings and cache of a component you removed in the ISO.
If it's identical component list, should be identical to a clean install - core-wise, of course that you don't reset all your accumulated "stuff" with just a Refresh since it migrates all your settings and apps.

Refresh is Host Refresh, the same engine, NTLite just packages it for easier use.
