If you want a perfectly fresh start, install stock Windows first and run the ReviOS Playbook once you're done with the initial setup.

caution

Converting existing installations is still experimental and can, in rare cases, cause issues. Make sure to have proper backups of all your important files before running the Playbook.

An installation based on stock Windows will always be the safest method.

danger

Do not run the Playbook on any Windows ISO other than ReviOS or stock. Doing so will result in an unpredictable mix of tweaks that can have any number of unsolvable issues.

If you're currently on a different Windows ISO, you have to do a clean stock install before running the Playbook.

Once the process is complete and all command windows have closed, you should proceed with the Post-Install Steps, where you'll install drivers and set some important settings.

Updating Playbook

ReviOS disables the Windows Update panel by default, and stops any updates from installing automatically. If you want to update your Windows version, follow these simple steps:

1. Upgrade your Windows to the latest version using our upgrade guide
2. Disable Windows Defender using Revision Tool and reboot
3. Download the latest AME Wizard and ReviOS Playbook
4. Launch the AME Wizard, remove the old (already applied) ReviOS Playbook and drag the new one to the dedicated section
5. Customize ReviOS features to pick your preferred browser, and edit further settings

And that's it! The Playbook will apply the latest ReviOS patches and tweaks to your system.
