factory reset

[Nana52]

I am unable to install windows 10 update on my HP stream. I want to factory reset so I can give this to my sister. When I tried, it failed. The message stated failed and took me back to the message about the update. 

I have removed all personal files to flash drives. I do not understand some of the instructions given by other users about the windows updates.

I used the F11 and power button to get to the option for factory reset. I just want my sister to have the updates for windows before giving her the laptop. I will never purchase another Stream.
