Hold shift and click Restart
Click Troubleshoot
Click Reset this PC
Click Remove Everything
Click Fully clean the drive

You now have a fresh install of Windows 10 with no pre-installed software.

The OEM product key is embedded into UEFI firmware. You can use KeyFinder Plus to recover it. Just formatting your hard drive or reinstalling will not erase your product key, and you don't need to worry about losing it.

Great! I was nervous about doing a fresh OS install in case I had to put in the key I didn't know. :p
