Noob question about Windows 10

Dkozak

I installed and activated Windows 10 on my laptop but I would like a clean install.

I know I need to take the key with a script, make a bootable usb etc but I was wondering if I also could use the function in the settings menu? 

In dutch it's "Deze pc opnieuw instellen" = "Reset this pc". 

Will that do the job or should I make a bootable usb?

Upgrade to windows 10, go to the pc settings, then update and restore, then restore, then under the reinstall windows thing click get started or whatever button it has, that will preform a fresh install of windows, no bootable usb needed or anything like that.

I'm in settings --> Update and security (translated) --> Systemrestore.  Do you mean the first option? I have 3 options (Reconfigure/reset this pc | Back to Windows 8.1 | Advanced bootoptions)
