Reset Windows 10 prior to selling laptop

Since I saw this late, you have probably already sold this -- but you need to know that a factory reset does NOT wipe the drive; all it does is reformat it. That means any personal/sensitive data you had on it is still there! Any decent data recovery program will be able to recover most of not all of that.

There is a tutorial on the HP Support Forums about the steps needed to wipe and restore the PC so that your personal data is really gone.

My Hp laptop won’t factory reset

Im wanting to factory reset my Hp laptop so that i can sell it, but im having issues.When i get to the ‘Reset this PC’ I clicked everything i need to but even after leaving it to reset overnight, it still wont reset. Ive tried several times but it still
takes hours each time. I need it to go back to how it was when you first turn on the computer so that someone wont get my information when i sell it.
