Neowin reports a new feature has been discovered in Windows 10 build 18950, a leaked build. This version offers uses two options for a factory reset. Users can choose to reset locally, which will reinstall the existing Windows operating system, or select a cloud download, which will download the latest version of Windows from the Internet.
Presumably, using the option to cloud download Windows 10 will download the latest production version of the operating system, rather than the one that you're on. It could be an easy way to step off of Windows Insider Previews from the Fast ring, which are currently previews for a feature update that's not coming until next spring. It could also be an easy way to do a clean installation when upgrading from an old version to a new one.
