Windows 10: Clean up of C Drive : enough to erase Windows contents, including Outlook new emails and...

Hello to all,I recently got a laptop I need to return, after it started malfunctioning earlier this week. It operates under the 'new' Snapdraggon processor. Would constantaly shut off, become very warm, taking ages to boot or to shut off.I tried to reset it, like I have done in the past, under System, and reinitialise it, but to no avail, I got a message it couldn't be completed. I then got rid of files and emptied the bin, but of course, that's not enough. Even if I was off line, the Outlook new app would open, and I would see all my emails. Because of this malfunctioning, it was impossible

How do I erase the contents on my boot drive nvme?

Dear Forest Pedrosa,

Welcome to the Microsoft Community!

Thank you for reaching out with your query about securely erasing the contents of your NVMe boot drive before transitioning to a new motherboard. It’s indeed crucial to ensure that your data is securely erased to maintain privacy and prevent any potential issues during the transition.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to securely erase the contents of your NVMe drive:

1. Backup Important Data: Before proceeding with any data deletion, it’s essential to backup any important files and data from your NVMe drive to an external storage device or a cloud storage service.
   
2. Create a Bootable USB with Windows 10: You’ll need to create a bootable USB with the Windows 10 installation media. You can do this using the Media Creation Tool available on the Microsoft website.
   
3. Boot from the USB Drive: Restart your computer and boot from the USB drive. You might need to change the boot order in your BIOS to do this.
   
4. Open Command Prompt: On the Windows Setup screen, press Shift + F10 to open a Command Prompt window.
   
5. Identify the Drive: Type diskpart and press Enter, then type list disk and press Enter. This will display a list of all the drives connected to your computer. Identify the NVMe drive that you want to erase.
   
6. Select the Drive: Type select disk X (replace X with the number of your NVMe drive) and press Enter.
   
7. Clean the Drive: Type clean and press Enter. This will erase all the data on the drive.
   
8. Exit DiskPart and Command Prompt: Type exit and press Enter twice to exit DiskPart and the Command Prompt.
   
9. Continue with the Windows Installation: You can now continue with the Windows installation process.
   

By following these steps, you can securely erase the contents of your boot drive NVMe and prepare it for use with your new motherboard. If you encounter any difficulties or have further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask for assistance.

Best Regards,

How to install outlook express on windows xp with explorer 8?

This is an awkward problem to solve and one I don't think is worth the time and effort.

The OP would be better off either using a modern webmail service like gmail or outlook.com or using a modern email client like Windows Live Mail like FX-GMC suggested or Thunderbird from Mozilla. If nothing else, Outlook Distress was notorious for corrupting its data files and losing all your email in one easy step. Not worth it.
