This computer is NEW to me. I just want to restart it. My old computer had an icon bottom left and I just clicked on it and was given the choice of several things -- restart was one.
This should be simple, right?

To reset your PC, go to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Reset this PC > Get Started. Then, select Keep my files, choose cloud or local, change your settings, and set Restore preinstalled apps
