I'm selling my old PC and want to keep the SSD for extra storage in my new computer. I already have a new SSD with Windows installed in the new PC. What's the best way to wipe the old SSD so it's ready to use?

First, you need to plug the old SSD into a system. Then, open Disk Management and find your drive. Make sure you double-check which drive it is before proceeding. After that, just right-click the drive and format it to your preferred system, usually NTFS for Windows.
If you want to completely wipe out Windows from the SSD, you might want to consider using the secure erase option in the BIOS. It's a more thorough method that ensures all data is permanently removed.
