Factory Resetting Windows XP

I was trying to reset an old Windows XP and I understand that you can't do it the same as Windows 10, but I was having a lot of trouble finding a cohesive guide on how to properly reset it. Is there any good way to do it?

There is no "reset" function in XP, you must reinstall it from scratch to achieve the same result. Installing Windows XP is a fairly well-known process, if you look it up that way ("installing" rather than "resetting") you'll definitely find a guide.
