Windows 10: Data Security & Recovery Prevention From a Windows 10 SSD

Hi Guys,

I'll try to be as brief as possible.

Previous Setting:
Device: Dell Vostro 3550
OS: Windows 10 Pro (64-bit)
Storage: HDD
Data Recovery Prevention: File Shredder programme.



.



Current Setting:
Device: Dell Vostro 3550
OS: Windows 10 Pro (64-bit)
Storage: Samsung EVO 860 SSD (TRIM enabled)

Question:
How should I ensure my deleted data and files cannot be recovered by some data recovery softwares?

I understand that one should not shred or secure delete files in an SSD as it will shorten its life span, which is why I took the advice from a forum to encrypt my MacBook Pro with an SSD instead of shredding or secure deleting data and files. I am wondering what is the best way to prevent data recovery from my Windows 10 SSD (the main objective) now.

Any advice / suggestions?


Regards,
Andrew

Data Recovery for Mac (OSX Capitan) ?

Anybody knows of a good data recovery software for mac? Preferably free?

I use Active@ Data Recovery for Windows, but honestly no idea what to use for Mac OSX.

Any suggestions?

Is it possible to recover data from a formatted SSD partition

Any secure erase application will prevent data recovery. Unlike with HDDs, overwriting the data once is sufficient to prevent recovery.

There's a free version of Tracks Eraser that should do the trick.
