Secure erase before windows 10


Recommended Posts

Hello,,,

I've been running Windows 7 Home for the last 2 years

on my Neutron GTX ssd.

Before updating to Windows 10 I want to reinstall a clesn

version of Windows 7. I'm sure by now my registry is a mess, undeleted bites of programs left over from

previous deleted programs and all the other gunk left

on the ssd over time.

I have a storage hhd in my system.

Will the toolbox create a new partion on my storage

drive so I can move my o/s off the ssd long enough

to secure erase it???

You can create an image of the SSD and save it to the HD then secure erase it and reimage the OS back on to the SSD, though you will still get the unused files left over from programs.

 

Or you can backup all your important data to the storage HD, secure erase the SSD and install a clean copy of Windows and programs.
