Hello, I'm getting ready to buy a new laptop. The laptop i'm running on now is old windows me. I'd like to recycle this one when i get my new one. But i am afraid of all of my info i have on it and even if i "delete" it there is still a way for peope to get my info from the laptop.
My dad has a desktop that he want to recycle it does not work it "burnt" out on him. But it has all his info on it. Hope this makes sense. What am i suppose to do about getting rid of our private info? Thanks!

Sell the computers without the hard drives. 0% of data theft, and hard drives are cheap enough that it won't take much from the sale price.
