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.
You forgot to make a pass of random character in unused space, you can totally recover a lot of data after installation of Windows in your “paranoid way”.
How can you recover ‘a lot of data’ from a brand new hard drive, genius??
