>Selling hp notebook running Windows 10 to sociopathic but rich cousin because I just blew all my student money on a MacBook to use as fashion accessory to attact Asian women at muh college

>I'm in search of advice on what's the best way to wipe it clean so said sociopathic rich cousin doesn't use recovery software to obtain my deleted files which include my private journals detailing embarrassing experiences and secrets I wouldn't want my future wife, priest, bartender,or favorite presidential candidate to know

>coming on here humbly begging the wonderful computer experts of /g/ to recommend me a software that's easier to work than DBAN but just as effective. I can't figure out how to work the bios or even get there. I'm assuming Ccleaner driver wiper is shite. I'd love something that's free, that makes data recovery impossible and that doesn't involve difficult tasks that only computer geniuses can preform.

DBAN is good, GNU/shred is also nice if you want to run ubuntu or smthing off of of a live usb.

> what's the best way to wipe it clean
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda conv=noerror && dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda conv=noerror
If that won't delete all the data, I don't know what will.

enjoy waiting for hours I guess.

A couple passes of random data before you reinstall Windows should be enough to defeat any software based recovery.

Trump is a long friend of clinton, running only to make her win
