    Wiping hard drive before sale - Windows 10 license?


    I have a laptop running Windows 10 that I'm selling. The license was bought direct from Microsoft and I activated on fresh install of the operating system.


    I want to wipe the hard drive thoroughly and sell the laptop with no operating system / with a deactivated Windows 10. What is the best way to do this? Thanks!

    :)
