Wiping a PC for selling?
Post Body

Hi all,

I'm leaving for college in a few months and bought a laptop for school/work and thus I don't need my PC anymore and am hoping to make a little money by selling it. I'm just curious - what software can I use to completely wipe the PC clean? I'm looking to basically delete everything including the OS (rip to my unlicensed windows lol) so that when I sell it I can either A) install windows/setup for the buyer (for a small fee muhahahahaha) or B) let them handle it by themselves. I've already moved any important files over to my new computer so I'm gonna try selling this PC ASAP. Thank you!

Edit - will the windows factory reset software work? I know it has a piece where you can put whether you're keeping or recycling the PC
