How to hard reset windows phone 10

Same like hard resting WP8 - hold volume down while powering up the phone, then when you see the exclamation mark press these keys in sequence: Up, down, power, down.

I just hard reset my Lumia 520 with WP10. The process took a long time to finish (maybe an hour).

will hard resetting a lumia 525 running win 10 as insider slow build restore it to windows 8.1???

Not, it will FRESH install the LAST build you downloaded. If you want to restore by factory win 8.1, you NEED a pc and Windows Device Recovery (or Lumia Phone Test Application)
