After that, it’ll ask if you want to just remove your files or fully clean the drive. If you want to be sure everything is wiped, select Fully clean the drive, but it’ll take longer.

It could take anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours, depending on the speed of your laptop and the option you choose. Just let it do its thing, and it’ll restart automatically once the reset is complete.
