My brother has a Windows 10 laptop. I use Linux so I'm a little out of the loop when it comes to Windows. He's having problems and wants me to wipe it out and re-install it. Will I need to load the OS onto a USB drive first? If so where and how do I get to that menu? Or is it more likely to work like a tablet where everything can web wiped out and re-installed from the interface with no additional hardware needed? Thanks.

Jump to PostSlow down. Windows 10 has a menu pick where you can factory reset the machine and save yourself from driver hell.
I'd do that first.
Jump to PostSure. Here's a google so you can pick which you like best.
