new Microsoft(R) Windows app
an app for restoring a computer should be preinstalled. its function is to serve as a helper for a computer's hard drive wiped. it should be exlusive to only Microsoft Windows 11 and future OSes. The user simply opens the app, selects their computer model (every computer manufactured after 2010 should be in this list), plugs in a clean USB and clicks proceed. the next screen should be a bar showing the installation of the factory image being processed. once the installation has finished, the user removes the USB drive from the Windows 11 device and inserts it into the wiped hard drive computer. Turn on the PC and immediately press the manufacturer boot menu key and use the arrow keys to highlight the USB and press ENTER on keyboard and should proceed with the factory installation. if it happens where the user accidentally selects the wrong model of their computer, it should be programmed that an error appears stating that the wrong factory image was installed and the system detected a different model and will automatically download the correct one to prevent bricking the laptop.

Windows 11 doesn't have the feature you're looking for, but you can use the Media Creation Tool or a Windows Recovery Drive to create a system image.
That's a great suggestion, but Windows 11 doesn't currently include this feature; you can use a third-party tool or the manufacturer's official recovery tool to perform a similar process.
The app includes a comprehensive list of all computer models manufactured since 2010. Users select their specific model from this list.
