Reset Mac Mini to Factory Settings using Windows Keyboard

Before returning the Apple Mac Mini with Apple M1 Chip (8GB RAM, 256GB SSD Storage) to exchange for Apple Mac Mini with Apple M1 Chip (8GB RAM, 512GB SSD Storage) , I had to reset it to factory settings. While it turned out to be a simple process, I didn't know exactly how to go about it initially since I was using a USB Windows keyboard. Here's what I had to do restore it to factory settings: shutdown the system while simulatenouly pressing and holding Windows key + R key on windows keyboard, press and hold the Power button on Mac Mini until MacOS utilities dialog appears. Let go off the keys and power button now Erase (i.e.) format the disk using Disk Utility option from MacOS utilities dialog. Exit Disk Utility once formating is completed. choose Install MacOS option from the MacOS utilities dialog and follow the prompts. Installation may take over an hour. The same can be done using a Mac keyboard but by pressing and holding Command + R keys while pressing a

The plate with one screw wasn't holding this lens well on a ball head, especially when repeatedly tilted, the screw would loosen a bit no matter how tightly it was screwed in. I do not understand the physics behind it. If you do, please educate me! With two screws, it now stays put, it doesn't come loose even a tiny bit. I don't have to worry about it anymore when I'm busy photographing. This SMALLRIG quick release plate fits perfectly, is rock solid and costs only about twenty dollars. I say 'only' because the alternative, a good replacement lens foot for Sony 200-600mm, made by Kirk or Wimberley , costs more than $75. This arca-swiss plate may work for other Sony/manufacturers' telephoto zoom lenses. I do not have them so I haven't had the opportunity to try it on other
