MicroNugget: How to use Windows 8 Refresh and Reset

Like most mobile devices on the market today, Windows 8 will have a "one-click" reset button – OK, maybe a few, but it will still be a pretty simple process – that will let you either return your PC to its original state or refresh it, with the reset feature included but data, "important" settings and apps preserved.
