Thanks you, I got the answer i was looking for

Yeah, I get all that. That sometimes you need the the why. I'm one of the "high ranking" useras in some forums and groups about other subjects, I wasn't born yesterday. But when someone starts with "to make a long story short" and ends with "don't second guess it" and throughout the exchanges...

Yeah, I know cloning is easy, I've done it before. You really REALLY have to know everything there is to know about my little story huh? Can't be happy with simply answering my simple question and accept the thanks. You have to know why I want to do this and that when I took the time to say...

He's not clueless, he's a freaking genius. He's a data recovery guy, works in a lab, not an IT guy. He doesn't usually offer cloning service. He recovered 100% of a completely messed nvme m.2, know to be extremely hard to recover. He's not clueless at all, he's just Russian and he doesn't speak...

Yes, it's done, thanks. I don't know about the clone operation. The guy told me an empty drive, that's what I'm trying to provide.

Sorry, I was on my phone and I thought I was talking to 2 different person. So we both repeated the same thing twice basically. What will happen of the drive? I will bring it to the guy I told you about and he will clone my old system on it, period. As I said, I just can't bring him the drive...

Yes, that system has its own OS, but the OS is on the said drive that I want to wipe... That's the whole issue. If it was a second or third drive I wouldn't even be here. So where, from the installation drive, would I find that commandline box to delete all partitions. Because all I can seem...

As I said, I don't have another drive to install windows on. I don't have another system that supports nvme m.2. I do have a windows installed usb flash drive. I could wipe my drive from the installation flash drive? What would be the process? The only option I get when booting from the...

I have a installation flash drive to boot from but it only works to install windows right. Or is there's a way to wipe a drive from there. Honestly, there really isn't anything other than wiping it I want to achieve. I've been working on that for 2 weeks and I was trying to save some time and...

A totally empty drive, that's the end state I want. I need this drive to be empty, period. That's all that needed to be known but I'll tell the whole story. An expert restored 100% of my data on a physicaly corrupted drive and he'd be able to clone it to a new drive. Initially he told me he...

Yes, I know that there is mo more windows, that it precisely what I want to achieve. I didn't mention. The reason because I know people are going to focus on that and not answer the actual answer. The rest of the process I can manage. I just want to wipe that drive, wipe everything, windows...

Well, that is my question basically. I can't format it the easy way no, it is my OS drive. OS won't allow me to format itself.

Hey guys. Long story short, I have a M.2 drive with windows installed on it and not much else. It is my OS drive. I would like to completely empty it. I can go in recovery mode to reset the computer but it will always include reinstalling windows. I don't have another drive to install windows on...

a whole lot, 700-800 Gb

It is just a bunch of files copied onto a drive...
