PC reset for college

Hello,
So here is my problem: I have a computer (given by the college, as I have finished my schooling there) running Windows 10 Education and I would like to install a "normal" version of Windows 10, or if you have any recommendations, preferably the most optimized one possible. The real problem is that I can't reset the PC using the basic command (Settings, Update and Security, Recovery, Reset). The administrator installed a "reset" file but it doesn't work.
Thank you in advance for your responses.
Best regards

Hello,
Can you format the hard drive?

Hello,
To install a "regular" version of Windows 10, you first need to purchase a Windows 10 license:
If you reset, you will still have the same Education version, not a regular version.

Good evening,
In order to install a Windows ISO, you need to access the BIOS, which is protected by a password that the designated teacher at the school should be able to provide you. Otherwise, I don't see how you will be able to change the boot order, currently set to the C: drive, to launch the Windows installation utility from the DVDROM or USB stick.
Needless to say, we do not have this password, nor any "tricks" to bypass it.
