Product: HP Envy x360 14 inch 2-in-1 Laptop PC 14-fa-0000 (8Z8P7AV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Can someone provide step-by-step instructions to properly SECURE ERASE the SSD on this laptop for resale?  BIOS does not provide the option.  I see there may be some paid tools out there but it seems this should be a free option within HP BIOS or other to complete.  I don't want to complete a Windows 11 re-install, as that does not properly wipe the whole SSD drive securely.
