I have a Windows laptop. It is Windows 11 and i3. Although it is very old, I have decided to resell it. One thing I like about HP laptops is that because of their brand, they get a good resale value. But when I was trying to resell it, I figured out that even if I had deleted my files from the HP laptop, there is a chance that a person can use recovery tools to get access to them if I had not deleted them properly.
Well, one of the good things that I like about HP is that it has a built-in reset this PC option that removes everything, and it has worked wonders for me. In fact, it also provides BitLocker, which guarantees maximum security.
However, just to be sure, I would like to recommend using BitRecover data wipe software, which helps clean up entire drives in one go. The best thing I liked about that feature that it is highly secure and is even military-grade and follows international standard of data deletion. That's why I'm recommending it so that when you are reselling, no one can ever recover your data.
