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 like the Darik’s boot and nuke followed by the old removal of hard disk and hammer approach, that has worked wonders for data loss in the past. Then slap a nee hd in that bad boy and they get no old data. ;)
Edit correcting auto correct of Darik
(Fe2O3 + Al S) lit with a sparkler or Mg strip can set the bits to the secret 3rd binary known as “No”
