I gotcha - is there really ever a time when something like Parted Magic would be needed?

Okay let me try to explain this better. I already have upgraded to Windows 10 on my SP3 - just haven't done a "clean" install yet. I have a USB drive with W10 Pro on it right now. I was simply looking for the best way to wipe the SSD. I am not sure what the difference between Parted Magic and...

Thanks GreyFox! Exactly what I was looking for. If you don't mind me asking - how is that different than what Parted Magic does?

I'm not trying to be rude - but really? Yes, how do you think I came across Parted Magic? There are A LOT of ways out there - but determining what the proper/best way to do it is not always easy. Finding someone who is knowledgeable on the forums has always been my best bet.

It appears my SP3 is using TRIM. However, I am still confused - what is the best way to wipe my SSD and do a true clean install of Windows 10?

Yes I understand that (I had to do the same on my Alienware). Can you provide a link or some more info on how to properly wipe my SSD using the diskpart?

Thanks for the info! Can you tell me more about diskpart /clean - I am not familiar with that. I just want my SP3 to be as clean as possible before Windows 10.

I have used Parted Magic many times on several other computers to do a clean install of Windows. Has anyone used Parted Magic on a SP3? I plan on upgrading to Windows 10 and then doing a complete clean install by using Parted Magic (just completed doing this on my Alienware). After I am going...

Luckily the bestbuy up here had the Zagg glass so I had it put on. It looks very very nice

I am going to get the Zagg screen protector this upcoming weekend and have Best Buy put it on. I will just clean the screen with 50/50 white vinegar and distilled water before I bring it in.

A lot of varying opinions here...tough to decide on whether to get that zagg one or not

I will have to wait till I am down I phoenix about 2 hours from me to go to a bestbuy and hope they even have the screen protector. It will have to wait for now

Zagg seems to be the most popular...still hesitant to pay 50 bucks for something that may hinder my note taking abilities

Been doing it for years with no problem at all...I will maybe try out the Zagg glass protector

Yea if I get one it would be a glass protector but not sure if I will get one

Alright cool I have bit defender free and malewarebytes free as well

Yea I really feel like the protector is not needed...but if it is I will be more than willing to get a nice one

Any good glass screen protectors out there?

Sorry for all the threads guys, this should be my last one. I used screen protectors on all my devices for years, but I rarely use them now a days. They seem to not be needed with the newer glass technology. I am also hesitant to use one on this screen because I will be taking a lot of notes on...

Would you guys run malewarebytes alongside bit defender? Also bit defender has 4 options...free, total security, Internet security, and antivirus plus...which one would you choose? I currently just threw on the free version
