Data Recovery China
When you do a factory reset recovery which reinstall windows, does it destroy all data permanently?
I’m about to go traveling the world for sight seeing and from what I heard these countries who have communist runned governments such as China and Vietnam do laptop hard drive content checks when you enter their country. They literally do a quick scan or a full scan of the hard drive contents to make sure you don’t have anything bad in your hard drive. I don’t do anything illegal so legal issues is not the case as it more of a privacy issue. I’m planning to a factory reset recovery which reinstall Windows 7 on my laptop so that it looks like I just bought it. Would that destroy all data on it permanently so that forensics teams of those governments won’t be able to see data that used to be on the hard drive ??? I don’t like people being nosy so I’m planning to transfer all my files onto my external hard drive and wipe my laptop’s internal hard drive like that.
You’re going through a lot of trouble for nothing. The communist espionage secret stealing spy stuff that you got yourself worked up about doesn’t happen.
I’m an IT consultant and I regularly travel to Vietnam. Because of my work, I usually have two or three computers with me which makes me a much bigger target for nosy communist officials than a sight seeing tourist. I never had anyone there put so much as a finger on my computers let alone do a “quick scan” of my hard drives. If you don’t believe me, then believe this: You will do a lot of work to ruin your computer to protect stuff that the communists in China or Vietnam couldn’t care less about.
Instead, you should worry about what a power surge or brown out will do to your computer or it’s data, because China and Vietnam have notoriously bad power grids susceptible to black out and brown outs.
Have a great time!
