Is it an HDD or an SSD?
If it is an HDD, I'd use this:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sys...nloads/sdelete
and I'd run anywhere between 1 - 35 passes to wipe the drive, depending on how concerned I'd be about the data on the drive. (Actually, I won't. If I'm going to do anything more than 3 passes, I'm just gonna not bother selling.)
If it is an SSD, I haven't found a reliable enough program to wipe it yet, although Intel and Samsung drives are supposed to have 1st party tools that can do this for their own drives.
