Hey guys,
I have done a lot of research on wiping/cleaning SSDs, but I can't seem to find answers that have much proof behind them.
I have a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 and I would like to do a true clean install of Windows 10 (I have already upgraded to Windows 10, but want to do a true clean install now).
In the past I have used Parted Magic to do a Secure Erase on my SSD's. However, I see that a lot of people say it is unnecessary and puts excess wear on your SSD.
So...is it best to just delete the partitions during the Windows install or do a Secure Erase using Parted Magic (or whatever program)?
