Hey everyone! I have around 8 Intel NUCs that I need to wipe clean, and they all have Western Digital M.2 SSDs with Windows 10 installed. The catch is that I don't have any accounts to log in to these devices. I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions on the best method to wipe these SSDs completely, and I'm okay with losing the operating system in the process. Thanks for your help!

Hirens Boot CD is a great option! Just search for Hirens Boot CD on Google, and you can find links to download it. You'll need to create a bootable USB drive to use it.
You can take the SSDs out and put them in an external enclosure. From there, you can use a wiping tool to format them completely. It's generally the easiest way to do it without having to deal with the OS issues.
If you boot from a USB drive, you can use tools like the ones found on Hirens Boot CD to wipe the SSDs. It contains a variety of utilities specifically for this purpose.
