Everything is on your HDD's. Just format them if you're including them in the sale.

keep main drive to move to new system and buy 40Quid ssd 250gb, for new buyer.

otherwise format and put clean win copy on, data recovery isnt easy and most dont fish for it as many imagine, as most likely person buying will do clean install either way.

From the start menu,, go to settings,, click on Update and Security,, Half way down the page is the word "Recovery"

When you click on Recovery,, at the top of the page is "Reset this PC" ,, just click on "Get Started" to factory reset the whole PC..

Done .
