to answer your question mr Dino about the install its NOT fresh its to refresh and reload windows without losing anything this helps a lot when it comes to reloading windows for those flaws and mistakes doing a upgrade does up I likes that option



I sometimes use that to redo windows without doing a clean install sometimes like to do this 1st before doing the system restore which restores the PC to a earlier time if you cannot access Windows the normal way this is WHY that repair option is sooo important


when you running from the CD INSIDE OF Windows as windows load there is a option to do upgrade WITHOUT losing your personal files and programs and to download updates on the original cd

Not really. Yes I could "remove/rename the .\autounattend.xml file" . BUT, but thing BUT I lose those other options I selected within your software as well. is there away that YOU can write something within and or have a option that offers, in the software to were someone does not have to do this removal thing and keep those ORIGINAL Windows options all at the same time?
 
Well, I can't change how Windows works, you misunderstood who to blame.
If Microsoft skips those options when autounattend file is there, then rename the file when you need those options, as said in the linked topic.
 
wish we could do I chat. by phone or voice, the way the Original Windows CD loads is fine its just when I make/create it with your software some of those original windows loading options disappear

and when I do the removal of the autounattend file I lose some of the selections "I selected" within your software. I was only hoping I could keep and have it all. at the same time without losing anything and keeping all the Windows CD loads up with those other options like shown is the "screen shot" up above

That is a Ms design and can't be changed, blame Ms.
 
Well as I sez in the beginning, its Not Microsoft. and maybe I am being misunderstood. All, All I wanted was the CD to loading options as it normally as it would, Before I was using Ntlite software to create my cd's. My original problem was the update and upgrade options were missing when and after I was using the Ntlite software to create my Win 8.1 cd. yes I know it was mentioned to remove the auto-unattended file
and my thoughts were if I did that all those options I selected while using the unattended options would be gone :(

So I decided Not to use the Unattended option anymore until that get resolved to were I can use those options and still have me upgrade options as well while the cd loads
I hope you all do fix that someday and please let me know if yous decide to do that

As you can see from the photos just using the default setting in the unattended option now its working to my liking showing me the options I need to see if, if needed

it would be nice to use this (unattended) options but maybe there away to let the program stay as is and let me pick and choose what I want to add or run/ load as default

  • Yes, its Ms design and you have to use one or the other.
Automate Windows Setup
You can prevent some or all of the user interface (UI) pages from Windows Setup from being displayed during installation. The default behavior of Windows Setup is to display the Setup UI if any of the required settings are incorrect or empty.

  • Hides recovery or upgrade by default (design).
Select an answer file
You can select a specific answer file during installation by booting to the Windows Preinstallation Environment, and using the setup.exe command with the /unattend:filename option.

  • Create your own named settings ini, press Shift + F10 and type (in sources when setup.exe in root is removed):
setup /unattend:ownsettings.ini

Note
When you use an Autounattend.xml file with Windows Setup and rely on an implicit answer-file search, the language selection page in Setup is not displayed, even if you explicitly do not configure language settings in your answer file.

  • unattend file is for setup only, not for recovery.
