Product Suggestion: New cloud manual reinstall option in SupportAssist OS Recovery
Time for another Product Suggestion!
Since Dell has stopped producing "Manual Reinstallation Media" (recovery media that doesn't reinstall Dell pre-loaded apps) USB downloads for manual reinstallation of Windows, starting with Windows 11, I have a suggestion for its replacement: a cloud-based version of that option in SupportAssist OS Recovery, in addition to the Local Factory Restore and Reset & Update options. This new option in SupportAssist OS Recovery will have the same functionality as "Reset & Update", however, no Dell pre-installed apps will be installed. Drivers will still be installed for full system functionality. However, Dell SupportAssist OS Recovery Assistant will not show up after first boot (it can still be accessed on the user's backup drive, if they had created one during the process).
So, basically, this is the same as "Reset & Update", except no pre-installed apps, and this option is perfect for those who want to start afresh.
Hope this helps!
