Giving away a computer--how to delete everything first?

[(Anonymous)]

I know this is really late and I'm not sure if anyone will even see it but I thought it was worth a shot.

My mom has a computer she no longer uses and wants to give to her friend. She wants to delete everything off it first but obviously wants her friend to still be able to use it. Everything I've seen says that the only way you can delete everything is to also delete the operating system. She doesn't want her friend to have to go out and buy a new copy of Windows but also doesn't want any personal data still on there where someone can recover it.

It also worries me because I gave a computer away years ago after using a program (I can't remember what it was) that claimed to delete all personal info, but I'm pretty sure Windows was still on it so I'm now wondering if the people who ended up with it were able to get any of my information from it.

So is it really impossible to delete personal information without also uninstalling Windows? Or is there a way around that?

Just reformat the hard drive, taking it back to factory specs, and unless your mom's friend is some sort of IT computer person, she won't be the slightest bit able to dig through the computers brain to find whatever scraps of whatever might still be lingering.

SA
Really, she'd probably also be safe just dragging everything to the trash and emptying it, because most people (especially older people) who aren't some sort of computer specialist aren't going to know how to recover that -- and if it's your mom's FRIEND, why would she?
