I’m looking to sell my laptop. I’ve used stuff like DBAN before but that nukes the whole drive obviously. Is there any good way to leave the OS intact after a reset but also make sure that there’s no recoverable data?
Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks!
Edit to add: I don’t have the product key for the pre installed Windows 10 OS. Maybe there’s a way to recover that and reinstall after a full wipe?
I understand where you’re coming from, but again, I’m trying to sell this quickly through Facebook marketplace or the like. I don’t think I’m gonna have a wide audience for people looking for a Linux based laptop that are local and offering cash.
You’re correct about that, and generally anyone interested in a Linux distro is going to know (and want!) to install it themselves anyway.
