Hey so my laptop was hacked and I want to wipe my SSD. I want to delete everything but I don't want to lose windows. How do I do that without damaging my SSD. Please help

Can u access your laptop? can u enter windows?

If u can use File Shredder 3rd party software.

It claimed to permanently delete the file and wont be able to recovered.

I haven't try it though.

What do you mean your laptop was hacked? Was all your information stolen or did someone simply take remote control of your computer?

Last night someone took control of it. I haven't connected it to the Internet since

depends, what type of hack was it? how infected was your laptop? what i recommend you do is back up all the files you want on a usb stick, take the windows activation code off your pc, then wipe the ssd and reinstall windows.

to be honest it would probably be safer and easier to wipe the ssd completely you can take very important files off though

 

If you judge a fish based on its ability to climb trees it will go its whole life thinking its a failure.
