Does "reset 2 generation" mean this is a 2nd gen iPod shuffle?
How to reset IPod Shuffle back to factory setting using Window 7?
It's done using iTunes, not directly from Windows. Assuming you already have iTunes installed, with the current version, here's a screenshot of the shuffle's device button in iTunes (upper left corner of iTunes window)
Click that button (circled in red) to show the shuffle's settings screen (shown below), which has the Restore button (and other controls) for the shuffle
This shows a 1st gen shuffle (already had this screenshot handy); it's the same for a 2nd gen shuffle. Doing a Restore erases the shuffle, reinstalls its software, and sets it to default settings (which is the "factory" condition).
