Microsoft has always been committed to improve the Windows 10 operating system which, during the summer, will cut another milestone with the arrival of the new major update called "Anniversary Update." Both its new Windows 10 reported in the last hours, one of which may already be proven by Insider Windows users.

The first concerns the development of a new operating system installation tool, defined very simple and suitable to perform a clean installation of Windows 10; the transaction is useful, for example, to install the ISO to a new release, without proceeding through Windows Update or when, with the stratification of the updates and with months of use, it may seem appropriate a complete reinstallation of the software platform. Microsoft has not yet clarified the details of the new tool, but it has announced the arrival in the official support forum.
