As the title suggests I would like to know how to wipe an old laptop before selling it. Simply want to remove any sensitive or private information that exist so a buyer cannot act maliciously.
How do I go about doing so? Any videos/tutorials you recommend on this process?
For any specifics it is an HP laptop running Windows 10.
Please feel free to ask any other questions and I am greatly appreciative of any help.
I would recommend that you use DBAN to clean your SSD/HDD before selling. Because using a basic removal tool such as windows boot USB drive won’t completely delete the files.
If a hacker buys your old laptop, he could use softwares to recover the lost data.
