Question Secure erase needed?

[aidzocfc1]

Sorry if this has been asked before couldn't find the answer. So I'm going to freshly install windows and just wondering do I need to run a secure erase on my SSD before hand or should I just go into custom install during windows setup and delete the partitions will that be enough?

Deleting the partitions will delete everything on the drive so if you don't mind yes it will do the job. Nothing will be left on that drive.

Deleting the existing partitions during the install is fine.
