Asked By FeistyPineapple42 On

I'm planning to reset my Windows 11 PC due to audio and driver issues causing stuttering. I'm thinking of using the cloud reinstall option, but I have a question: do I need to connect my PC with an Ethernet cable for this process, or is my Wi-Fi card good enough? Specifically, does the reset install necessary files before starting, or does it need a continuous internet connection during the entire process?

If you're worried about having a reliable connection, it might be worth using Ethernet just to be safe. But honestly, if your Wi-Fi tension's solid, you can skip the cable and use Wi-Fi without issues.

You actually don’t need an Ethernet cable; your Wi-Fi connection should work just fine for the cloud reinstall. It will download all the necessary files first before proceeding with the reset, so as long as your Wi-Fi is stable, you should be good to go.

Just a heads up, reinstalling your OS might not be the first step to fixing audio issues. Sometimes it's a hardware problem, or maybe a setting needs tweaking. It's like replacing your floors instead of just giving them a good clean. But if you've tried everything else, then a reinstall might just do the trick!
