Windows 10: Can't Reset PC windows 10

I have been having an issue where I cannot open certain programs because of this error. I have tried multiple fixes and simply none work. It wasn't an issue to me until I couldn't download a game because of it so now I tried fully resetting my pc for a fresh installation. The issue is I simply can't. It says I need a password for my user which was made over 3 years ago that I don't know and it is required to reset my pc. I only use a PIN to sign in and have never needed a password.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.

• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
