I have a really ancient laptop that I want to sell for a couple of bucks (literally) on eBay or just end up giving away to excellent will.
Either way, I want to make sure any ancient personal information is not stored in this system without my knowledge. What I’m plotting on doing is moving anything I want to keep to another computer. Then do I reformat the hard drive? If so, would that wipe out my copy of Windows (95, I believe)? I want to be sure to leave it so that someone else can use it if they want to, just not with any of my ancient files there. Would you recommend a better way? I also couldn’t find any system restore disks. Do system restore disks really delete your information? etc. . .
Thanks!

I am looking to sell my Advent laptop. Handily, it comes with the Tech Guys recovery tools pre-installed, if I use the Full Destructive Recovery option, will this make my laptop safe to sell, without any information being recovered from the hard drive by the new owner?
Many Thanks!

I'm looking to use your laptop.
