All you need to do is to use the built in reset command in Windows and select the deep clean option after telling it to remove all users and files. This overwrites all areas of the drive and destroys any file info or structures.

This is how we handled the wiping of old systems at Coca Cola prior to returning them to the vendor after their 3 years of use were up.

Using a hammer or any type of physical destruction is just stupid. You can easily wipe the drive and resell the old computer.
