Returning a laptop purchase, how can I purge it?
« on: April 24, 2022, 10:42 PM »
Hello!

I am returning a faulty laptop purchase but in the meantime I have saved passwords etc, how can I purge it?

Asus Zenbook if it rings a bell (pity it could be a great laptop :D)

Thanks!

Or Darik's Boot And Nuke. Depends if you need to leave an O/S on it. DBAN will not.

Reinstall using the supplied recovery media/instructions, run cipher, (included with Windows), over free space.
