Q: Reinstalling windows 10 on a bootcamped iMac?

Hello everyone, I was wondering whether I'd be able to 'refresh' my Windows 10 using the built-in restorer (returning it to factory settings), or is it necessary I reinstall Windows 10 from my Mac OS, wiping the bootcamp partition and reinstalling windows 10 that way?

The Windows 'restorer' does not understand that the underlying disk partitions support more than one OS. Remove Windows10 using BCA and then re-install it.
