How to delete laptop data correctly?

Hello, I want to sell my Asus laptop. How do I truly delete all data from the device? Or should I sell my laptop without the hard drive? Is it sufficient to reset everything to factory settings?

What is the best way to proceed so that I don't have to worry about my data?

Best regards 🙂

If you want to make sure that your data cannot be restored, the hard drive with a suitable deletion program, such as “DBAN” will be overwritten one to three times. – It takes a few hours.
Then reinstall Windows.

One SSD must be deleted with special software, otherwise their life expectancy is severely affected.

In the Win10/11 Recovery Data recovery can be made more difficult if the submenu is selected via “Swap Settings”, “Swap Drive” . – It can take a few hours.
I don’t know how far she’s SSD-ready.

Reinstall Windows completely. Then everything’s gone. If necessary, let ABAN pass over.

Delete data normally, then run cipher /w:laufwerk and possibly overnight.
