you can go to settings, recovery, or just type in the settings search bar "reset" and you'll see an option to reset, click through its setup process and theres a stage where there are two options- keep files, or delete everything. so it will download the most current windows image(which ever your presently on) and run that install in parallel with the uninstall/ deletion of your current windows, so at the end when you boot its the windows first time setup process- create user for windows, setup keyboard, wifi etc. pretty straight forward and quick imo
