    What tool should I use to restore my windows after secure erasing?
    Can I use microsoft's windows backup? or should I clone my ssd with Acronis?
    Thanks!

    Never used either, but Acronis will work. Not sure but Windows backup might too. There are other imaging options too.

    Never was high on SE myself. TRIM seems to do the job fine.
