Quick one: Windows 10 has built-in drive wipe capability

When formatting a drive using the command-line, you can add the switch /P:<number_of_passes> to add a number of wipe passes to the format process.

So if you useĀ  “format e: /P:2” drive E will be formatted and wiped with 2 passes.

No more external tools needed!

Windows 10 Upgrade Notification

This week Microsoft announced it will be releasing Windows 10 on July 29th. Which is a good thing! They also started activating a pop-up notification which allows users to pre download Windows 10 to their system and install it as soon as it get out on July 29th.

This is not something I want my users to do on their own.
