Reset to factory from redstone build 14393.5

[Windows Central Question]

I upgraded from win 10 build 10586.495 to build 14393.5 on Lumia 1020 using vcREG and CustomPFD method, and I want to Factory Reset for better performance and to solve maybe the brightness, glance screen and some camera issues

I want to ask you the followings before doing hard reset:
1- Do you advise me?
2- After factory reset, on which OS I will be? the 10586.495 that I was on before installing Redstone,
or it will take me to win 8.0 or stay on Redstone ?
3- Is there any risk to go back to win 8 and failed to upgrade to win 10 either on insider after releasing the windows 10 Redstone preview as they mentioned in the latest news ?
4- Can I unlock Boot loader via WPinternal from my current Redstone Build ?

Please reply back before any further step
Thank you,

But for q no 2, factory reset will keep the same OS, it won't down grade your phone

Factory reset does not change your OS version. You only reset your personal data and settings. I don't think you can use WPInternals with a Redstone build (not listed in the supported OS versions on the website).
It won't fix brightness or glance screen

okey 10x I did the reset and stayed at redstone 14393.5 but the registry values that I changed to install the Redstone are reset too ? what will happen now ? I will not receive other builds for 14393 ? or should I change these values again? although I cannot deploy the CustomPFD_0600 anymore ? and finally there is an update for extra+info is it risky to update in this situation ? please advise and thank you again

 

[milkyway]

Do not update Extras+Infos. Ever!
Yes, your registry settings also revert when you do a hard reset.
You won't any new builds without changing your registry again.
You don't need CustomPFD, you can install "Interop Tools" in Developer Mode and change registry settings there.

Ok bro 10x I will try interop tools
