I have an old computer (turned it off 2.5 years ago but it was a mid-spec PC built in 2016 I bought second hand in 2017). I can barely boot it these days. I want to wipe the 1 TB SSD before throwing the whole PC into the trash or recycle or whatever. Most parts are unsalvageable. I used to use dban way back when but it appears to not have been updated in almost a decade. The PC is running Windows 10, but I would like a simple solution bootable from a USB to ensure complete data erasure. I tried ABAN but it couldn't detect anything. Any suggestions?
