Hello!

 

I have been spending days on trying to wipe my computer. I have looked at many different YouTube videos tying to get a better understanding on how to do it. Please Help!

It really depends on what you mean by "trying to wipe my computer".  If you mean completely wipe the hard drive so no-one can read any info from it, then use DBan.  You can Google for that free software and how to use it.  If you mean doing a clean install on the hard drive, then use a Windows install disk.  Please indicate the version of Windows you intend to use.

If you mean the Windows has been infected and it needs to be clean of infection, please indicate that.
