Why "secure erase" is still unavailable in Windows 8 ?

[AX2]

Windows 8 has been released for nearly 2 years and windows 9 is upcoming in 2015, why Intel only keep this function in windows 7 ?

Hi After31, this is a known limitation when using such operating system; you may use the following steps as an alternate method:

• You may use YUMI to create a bootable Linux* USB drive: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/ http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/
• Iinstructions for a secure erase in Linux*: http://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/SSD_Secure_Erase http://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/SSD_Secure_Erase
