Hello Barbara_1943,
IMO, if you reset using Windows 10 Reset feature, you should be back to Windows 10, as it is simply a reinstall. You can choose either to keep files or remove everything.

I guess the only way to know for sure before I give it away is to go ahead and set it up again and if it goes to Windows 10 then I can wipe it again.
- I booted up the laptop and happened to notice that the logo on the screen was a Windows 10 logo and not a Windows 7 logo. So I assume that it reset it to Windows 10. Do y'all think this is a safe assumption?
