Obviously manufacturers like asus, gateway, dell, etc have been given the ability to load a bunch of junk on your computer before you buy it and make that your default restore setting for windows 8. I was wondering if there is a way that i can save the current state of my pc as my "factory default" so to speak, so that when i decide to restore i don't have to remove junk and add the stuff i like every time.

No i'm talking about taking advantage of the default recovery built into windows and writing over the image used in 'Remove everything and reinstall windows' for windows 8. I am well aware of 3rd party options such as acronis and macrium. My goal is so set my default windows image so i dont need to use 3rd party software.
