Solved! Samsung notebook series 3

[Elke2020]

How much should I price my Samsung notebook series 3 for sale. NP305E5A-A08US. 15.6 led 4gb. Excellent condition. Moderate use. Have original box. Just one piece on left side only (that I saved) broke off from where the battery is held in. But battery stays in regardless. Saw one selling for$250. It's the silver one, sleek design and I like the individual raised keys. Feels good when typing.

250$ would be the maximum, more likely would be a price tag from 120 to 150$

So, I'd obviously have to wipe clean any of my info before I sell. Can I do just a basic factory reset? I suppose there are YouTube videos on this. Sorry, I'm not very tech savvy 😬

Personally I would overwrite any data on the hard drive at least twice.
You can use a software like this:

Though I´m not sure if you can wipe your drive, where windows is installed on, with easeus.

You can use https://sourceforge.net/projects/dban/ as well. Burn it to a DVD and boot from it

After that you will have to reinstall windows

A factory reset won´t be that safe and some data could be recovered by simple ways.
