Looked all over the net but no joy so far.

I can boot ARMx6s systems on Recovery Drives (with system files), but I cannot find a Virtual Machine to run a software made for x64 systems (AMD or Intel).

Any thoughts?

What OS is this running?

If Windows, all you really need is a Full Format in File Explorer.
Really.

Also, assuming HDD's, DBAN.
 
The system-laptop- is running W11 Home.

There is an option to recover into factory default, and a recovery from an environment that "resembles"
Win PE.
The problem is that I do need a proof of erasure and I can get software that provides such a certificate.

It just can not run on ARM, and those systems do not allow booting from a different medium.
Only W11 for ARMx64 -I got that from Microsoft.

this is basically wine (from linux) but made to run on arm, might not work but is worth a try.
Giving it admin access to the whole disk might be difficult to impossible.
Also only secondary hdd can be cleaned completely, if you try to wipe the disk that the arm os is running on it will just crash at some point.
