The safest: remove the hard drive and sell it without.

It is safest to sell the laptop without a hard drive. That is exactly what we recommend.

If it should be with a hard disk, you should delete the hard disk with a program that uses the Gutmann method. This ensures that your data is really gone and can't be restored.
It's a bit more time-consuming, but you don't have any strangers rummaging around in your data.

If you think the factory settings would be enough, you have no idea how people get data in this way, you have to say so.

The factory settings (as well as quick formatting) prevent the new user from accidentally tripping over your data.
But if you specifically look for it, it is so easy. You could also save yourself the trouble of formatting.
Fraudsters who are looking for passwords or saved accesses stored in the browser or elsewhere have no problem restoring such simple deletions.

Exactly, if it is not deleted correctly… You gave an example, then you send me your laptop and I send you back your deleted data.
