that’s one of the reasons i think Lenovo has won the laptop war, they include all operating systems and make it very easy to install any on your device, i love Ubuntu a lot, and chromeOS too

    Doesn’t the installation of the new OS do the wiping? I was wondering because I never did it differently.

      I haven’t a clue, I just never chanced it. When I’d sell a PC I’d always DBAN it.

      It all depends on how sure you want to be that whatever was there previously is unrecoverable.

      DBAN is up to DOD standards if I remember correctly.
