Quoting:
A hard restart with the power button
is possible on any machine. It's built into how Windows
itself works with the actual power switching.
End quote:
So does this mean that a hard restart
consists of holding down the power button for at least 20
seconds?
Or is there some other key I must hit
with hit?
Please advise as you like.

That being said, and I do actually do hard restarts if
absolutely necessary, they should be a last resort.
The Restart command sets a startup timer, completely powers
the machine down, then when the timer goes off Windows is
reloaded, completely from scratch, from disk. Nothing from
the previously active Windows session is retained. It used
to work that way with shutdown and powering up again, too,
until Fast Startup entered the picture, and since I can't
presume that Fast Startup is disabled, I always say use
Restart.
