I've tried DBAN but its not compatible with Windows 10, plus I have a SSD which I'm sure I need another program to do this with. I've got 2 SSDs with one of them being boot drive, along with 1 regular HDD to store mass files. I'm trying to recover from a what I suspect might be a malware infection, so I've decided to wipe all data to the core and flash my BIOS etc. Thanks for reading
How do I securely and safely wipe all data including OS?

DBAN works with Win 10. It actually does not care WHAT the original data is.
Boot from a DBAN USB or DVD, and wipe whatever is on the HDD.
For the SSD, use whatever Secure Erase function the manufacturer gives.
What make/model is it?
Okay thanks, now I just need to find a way to make DBAN work since my PC doesn't have a CD drive. I've already tried booting via USB but it kept giving me errors, I'm using WIN 10 pro 64-bit.
This is a dumb question but what in what order should I wipe the data? I'm not sure if the malware can detect these actions in real-time, so that's why I'm asking.

If you simply boot from your WIn10 media, and delete existing partition(s) in a custom install....(quick format more than sufficient) .....99.999%, barring infection with a very sophisticated state/govt actor-level root-kit-----the malware is gone.
