Whats the best way to return a computer to its original condition?

Asked by Jaybee (220points) September 7th, 2007 from iPhone

I have four laptops that I don’t use and would like to give to friends. But I don’t know how to erase all my own stuff from the hard drive. They are all Windows so even when I erase I still can recover everything by ‘restore to an earlier date’ feature. I switched to Mac system 3 years ago and don’t know what to do with these things. In the meantime they are slowly becoming ancient and soon no one one will want to use them.
