This is really intriguing, but am I reading the instructions correctly? Call me dumb, but I don't know how to reinstall Win10 Home; I don't have a recovery CD or anything like that. I'd also need to back up everything first... which would be a pain...

To answer your question, the easiest way to reinstall Windows is with Rufus. It will even go and fetch the files for you from MS.

Then you have to access the BIOS and adjust boot priority so that it will boot from the USB.

Then just click next on the installer.
