I have a couple of old laptops lying around and want to throw them away, but have been cautious to do so because of privacy concerns of data still on the hard drives. What is the best way to wipe them? Or should I take them out and physically destroy them?

They are running windows vista and 10 I think.

    And if you do a couple passes (might take a bit but who cares if youre throwing the whole thing out) then in theory even the nsa can’t get in it
