Query on Windows phone 8.1 update

[WPCentral Question]

I was thinking about Hard resetting my Lumia 720.
i want to start fresh after installing 8.1 update.
If i hard reset my phone,(and i dont want to restore anything), will my phone go back to official 8 or would it still be in 8.1 update.

Hard reset doesn't downgrade your OS. The same OS version will remain.
