I need to return this laptop.  HP support has delayed the process but now Amazon will take it back.  The device is full of problems.  HP "upgraded" it to win11 without my conscious assent.  Then, it tried to charge me to move back to win10.  I can't use my programs in win11.  Worse, there is an instability that has plagued the machine since purchase, but it is sporadic.  HP told me to observe it and I followqed their instructions until they told me the warranty was no good any more.  That is very bad support.  there are other issues. 

 

NOW, ALL I NEED IS TO WIPE MTY DATA FROM THE DRIVE SO I CAN RETURN THIS PIECE OF JUNK TO AMAZON.

PLEASE ADVISE ON HOW TO DO THAT.  I COULD REFORMAT C: BUT I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S ADEQUATE AND NEED GUIDANCE.
