How would i be best formatting my ssd drive ready to sell laptop?

[JamesUK]

Hi, I am selling my old Lenovo Ideapad 510 laptop as i am getting a new Dell G5 15 laptop.

My old laptop didn't come with an SSD drive but i added one in it and used the software to copy my old drive onto it.

As i will be selling my old laptop I want to do a full safe format, how am i best doing that?

The drive contains setup files i think and also I do have an image DVD of windows 10 that i downloaded from the Microsoft site, but i was more worried about how I’m best clearing everything off it ready to sell to someone?

Thanks

James

Hi thanks for your reply.

I am wondering about buying a new one, my old drive contained the partition to install windows though, i do have a dvd image of windows which i could install from but will my laptop activate windows once installed?
