Cannot Reset An HP m01-f0033w Desktop Compter In Windows 10

[JDN541]

I have a HP m01-f0033w Desktop Compter with Windows 10 Home and wanted to prepare it to give away. I used a freeware program like KillDisk to clean out the secondary HDD which worked fine but I wanted to also clean the main C drive of all content, programs, and data. I used the Recovery option in Windows and then went to Reset the PC but it will not recognize the bootable jump drive I created through Window10 Home for this computer. I have tried multiple times but it does not reconize the media and each time asks to  reboot the computer with the media installed as it does not see it. I have checked Disk Manager and the flash drive is there recognized and with a unique drive letter. I even tried to get to the Recovery section from the initial boot using the proprietary Windows keystrokes to get to the Troubleshoot area. This did not work either. Ironically, I have this problem with my other HP TP01 PC as well and cannot get Windows to recognize a bootable jump drive in the same manner and same outcome as already noted above.

Is there another way to do a Windows RESET on these PCs? I don't want to have to spend a lot of money on a paid version of a program that removes partitions from the drive. I am not sure how safe that is when a Windows partition on a drive may include other items that may ultimately need to be cleaned manually anyway.  Speaking of manually, I could do this procedure manually an remove item by item but that is very slow... I know since I just did that on another computer.

Thanks for any advice !

I just solved my problem. I found that once a bootable drive is created which I had already done, I can hit F9 during a cold start and then get to Bios boot options. From there I can select where I can boot from and was able to ID the bootable Jump Drive I created in Windows and select it. It then went on to boot off the jump drive and do a fresh Windows 10 reset.
