You're probably best of formatting the drive, filling it with random data (there are programs for that) and formatting again, because there is no an easy way to do what you want and the buyer might be able to retrieve your data from the formatted drive.

Yes it would but you probably have your windows key. If you have the disk, you can reinstall it with that as well.

Just, get yourself a bootable Windows disk, wipe the drive.  Reinstall Windows with the same license key, reinstall drivers and done. 

 

BTW, Formatting wipes everything, data is still accessible on the drive.

 

BEWARE:

Even formatting the hard drive doesn't wipe all data.  Data is still accessible.  You must securely wipe the data if selling the PC, if not you will be at serious risk of identity theft and other serious problems.
