Someone recently gave me their PC and I would like to factory reset it. However, due to a lot of complications, I have not yet found a way to do this without spending over $100. Here are the complications:
The farthest back restore point that exists on the system is March 3rd 2017, which does not reset the PC to factory settings. I tried clicking "show more options," but no more options appeared. So I can't use restore points in order to reset my PC.
I do not have the Windows installation disc, so I cannot reinstall windows in order to reset my PC.
I do not have a Windows 10 product key, nor do I have a Windows 7 product key. This means if I try to download either of the operating systems onto a disk or external drive, I will have to buy a product key, which I do not want to do.
I cannot think of anything else. Do I really have to pay in order to reset my PC?

Hello,
I really appreciate all of the help you've given me, but I think I will not factory reset my PC because all of this is too difficult for me to deal with doing (I'm lazy.) So I'll just uninstall files I don't want and it should be fine. Thank you.

I would still go over the Windows 10 Performance and Install Integrity Checklist - Microsoft Community to check the install is set up correctly, optimized for best performance and any needed repairs get done. This will greatly improve performance from the factory install, repair anything that's awry, and show you the optimizations that make Windows 10 run best.
