Backup and Reinstall Windows 8 without Losing Apps and Files

Generally whenever you have issues with Windows for which you are not able to find any solutions, then the next step would be to reset to factory settings on your PC or reinstall Windows. The same is the procedure for Windows 8 as well although Windows 8 has an additional option in the form of Reset and Refresh. But the main problem with reinstalling Windows, is that you need to manually take a backup of your documents and files and also reinstall all the apps you had on your previous install.

RecImg Manager is a new way for users to restore and reinstall their entire Windows 8 and software in minutes without losing personal documents or files. RecImg Manager will work on any Intel-based device running Windows 8 and the restoring of all apps and files is a very unique feature of this app.
