Cloud Download vs. Local Reinstall
On modern versions of Windows 10, you’ll then need to choose how you want to reinstall Windows. There are two ways: cloud download or local reinstall.
A local reinstall uses files on your current system to build a fresh copy of Windows. While it saves you from having to download files from the Internet, it will work if your Windows installation is corrupted.
With Cloud Download, the process will download a fresh copy of Windows from Microsoft over the Internet. This reinstalls the version of Windows 10 you’re currently running (plus any minor updates), so it won’t upgrade you to a newer feature update.
Downloading Windows requires several gigabytes of data, so be careful if you have a limited connection. However, if you have a fast Internet connection, this option may be faster than a local reinstall.
