thanks, will this method clear the C drive as it is v full? From reading it
sounds as though it will only reinstall windows?

During the setup process you will be given the opportunity to format the
drive before the OS is installed. Just carefully read what's displayed
on the screen.

Just follow instructions, and it will be a clean reinstall.

But how is she supposed to know that? And follow what instructions?
Better to use the relevant link already provided below for the purpose
than your vagueries and silliness. Also, following the wrong fork in the
instructions will be a lot less than a clean install.
