Refresh

Although the personal files, accounts, private setup, and Windows Store 
applications are all maintained, the Windows OS will be reset to the factory default 
settings.
All applications (Windows Store applications) that the customer has installed are 
deleted. After refreshing, the list of the deleted applications is saved on the desktop.
•

Reset

All files including personal files and Windows Store applications will be deleted. The 
computer will be reset to the initial (default) status.
If you have created multiple partitions, you can delete all personal files by selecting 
"Only the drive where Windows is installed" or "All drives". Also, you can select "Just 
remove my files" to delete personal files only, or "Fully clean the drive" to clean up the 
drives and disable them in order to easily complete the recovery operation and 
enhance security.
