If I use "Restore system to factory default settings", will the computer be exactly like it was when it came out of the box. In other words, will it start from scratch and all users will be erased?

Hi,

Exactly. Everything will be erased and your PC will revert to its initial factory settings.

After that, it will be impossible to recover your data, so it is recommended to backup your important files and documents first.
