Wiping Drives before Selling

Post Body

Hi all, Have a laptop I'd like to sell. I bought it for work a few years ago but since moving jobs it's just been collecting dust. I used it very little, almost exclusively for word processing, etc, there's no personal info of mine or anyone else's on it. Is the Win 10's built-in drive wipe ("remove everything") good enough pre-sale, or should I follow the backup / DBAN / clean install procedure? Apologies if this is the wrong subreddit. Thanks!
