How to delete everything but OS securely?

I'm looking to sell my laptop. I've used stuff like DBAN before but that nukes the whole drive obviously. Is there any good way to leave the OS intact after a reset but also make sure that there's no recoverable data?

Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks!

Edit to add: I don't have the product key for the pre installed Windows 10 OS. Maybe there's a way to recover that and reinstall after a full wipe?

Really odd thing happened last night

Curious if I'm overthinking things or if this might actually be possible. I got out of detox yesterday and the experience was... Bad this time around. I was really triggered by my treatment by the staff and wanted to drink so badly. I didn't, but I did meet up with a few friends and have a few near beers. 3 over the course of 4 hours. By my calculation, that should be 0.18oz of alcohol max, if the brewery is to be believed.

They were Athletic, which is a pretty trusted brand. I didn't feel intoxication at all. It just helped with the cravings and stuff.

About 4 hours after my last one though, I could swear I had pretty bad withdrawal symptoms for about an hour and a half. Cold sweats, intense nausea, severe anxiety - granted I always have anxiety lingering around. No tremors thankfully, and it passed.

The only other idea I had was food poisoning from getting non hospital food, but I've never heard of food poisoning lasting that shortly.

Thoughts? Either way I'm staying away from the near beer for at least a week.
