does your machine come from a manufacturer like hp, asus?

If yes, than there should be a "Recovery" Partition in your hard drive

all you need to do is run it and when the time comes select the "destructive" option - it will wipe all your hard drive and reset your computer to factory state (it´s exactly when you turned on your pc for the 1st time, wich unfortunately means it comes with the manufacturers junkware

Or you could just format and re-install?

you either need to have a recovery partition or the windows disc, otherwise nothing done
