Backup confirmation
Require the user to confirm that important files are backed up and that the backup can be accessed before continuing.
Lurionyx
Future concept
Lurionyx is exploring a guided way to prepare and repeat Windows installation and first-time setup. The concept is not available, and no release timing has been announced.
The concept
The proposed workflow would collect installation choices in one place and show their consequences before the user approves a change. It would not silently erase a disk or choose a target drive on the user's behalf.
Required checks
Any future implementation would need to make these decisions visible and verifiable.
Require the user to confirm that important files are backed up and that the backup can be accessed before continuing.
Check that required BitLocker or device recovery keys are available outside the machine being changed.
Name the affected disk and partitions clearly, then require a separate confirmation for destructive operations.
Use installation media obtained through official Microsoft channels rather than modified or unofficial images.
The user remains responsible for having a valid Windows license and complying with Microsoft's terms.
Show the complete plan, compatibility concerns, and expected data impact before asking for explicit approval.
