I had to reset my laptop completely today so all drives are cleaned up…

Now comes again Windows 8.1 or windows 10 …

I installed Windows 10 for free before 2016

Actually, with the "Restore" Win 10 should be active.

Windows 8 will only be restored if you start the factory recovery via the bios. If you restore from running Windows 10 operation, only Windows 10 will be reset to the state where you installed it.
