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.

    Select Change settings and turn on the Data erasure toggle to ensure all files are completely removed and unrecoverable.
