In fact, after completing it, I can't restore anything to the hard drive anymore. It's now just useless.

The UEFI setup part of your Windows 10 setup is ready. Open your BIOS and choose to boot from the Windows 10 installation disk. Usually there’s an EUFI menu with choices you need to turn off or lower priority. To fully prepare before installing again: unplug all drives except the one you’re using. From the boot options, pick #1 for GPT or #2 for MBR to launch the install. On the initial screen, hold SHIFT and press F10—Windows will show a menu with commands like 'diskpart', then choose 'Clean' and exit. Click Next when prompted. Pick the first unallocated partition and click Continue. Windows will generate all necessary partitions for the new OS. Remember, the reserve area exists for a reason. If you need a clean start, use the option to factory reset in Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > 'Reset this PC'. This is especially useful after major updates.

Thanks Abom, this seems to be the type of info I'm looking for. I'll share again after finishing, and let me know the outcome.
