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.
Just full format the drives and reset it.
Unless you’re pedo or a politician, then just sell it as is.
Contrary to popular paranoia, criminals are not in the business of paying money to buy up the thousands of laptops for sale at any one time, in the hope their might retrieve some personal data of a random citizen after a lengthy data recovery expedition.
If you have been targeted and fished into selling this laptop, simply don’t.
