Ask no questions. I want someone to tell me a way to format an ssd safely, free, quickly and if it is possible make it as easy as possible. I will install a fresh copy of windows on there.

Some Bios have SSD formatting tools built in, If yours don't I suggest using MiniTool Partition Wizard(It's Free). I don't like the Windows built in formatting tool, It doesn't do a proper job. MiniTool Partition Wizard also has different levels of formatting.

Current Build: Project Frost
Gaming Rig Build: Project Ice Dragon
