Hi. May I have some advice please. I have a laptop and I want to pass it on to another person. I don't want to format and reinstall windows (i know this isn't secure deletion) Is there a program that I can run that will securely delete all my information and data I have inputted into the pc over the last two years or so. I will need it to eraze everything I have done on the pc but leave windows still working fine so it can be passed on to the new owner. Thank you.
Best regards
Chris
