I've bought 2018 driver @ OS reinstalation discs for windows 7 that previous owner apprentaly just removed himself, leaving no admin password. I've heard of DBAN, don't know if that's best, or best link to wipe it completely. I can't even do disc cleanup prompting me to buy the cd's @ don't want extra space on hard drive with previous user's stuff. I'm a disabled grandma who can follow instructions well when on proper site. Don't know where answer will be, my microsoft acct or on page. I'll check both
