Hi:
Can anyone recommend a free program that will format as well as remove the partitions on a hard drive?
(I would like to completely clean the SSD hard drive on my laptop and do a fresh install of Windows 10)

You could just put the Windows 10 disk in the drive for installation. Then choose repair the installation (lower left corner). From there, you could choose
cmd.exe
- type
diskpart
- type
list disk
- type
select disk #
(# = disk you want to wipe) - type
clean
(before running this typehelp clean
and understand) - Look up the rest of the commands to format the partition and mark it active
I mention this because, it's free and fast, and built in....
afterwards you should be able to restart the computer with Windows 10 install disk and install..follow the directions.Cordially,

I was just looking at this, if you do a
custom install
, it will also give you the option to just wipe the partitions and install on clean disk!Cordially,
