I'm not sure if the dmidecode command will work on Windows as well. (since we also have Windows OET devices)

| 1. The Initiation: The employee boots into ShredOS, selects the drive, and chooses the PRNG Stream or Zero Fill (1 pass is sufficient for modern SSDs). |

Reading through the readme of ShredOS, I think we might need to distinguish between HDD, SSD and NVMe. It looks like for SSD we would need the hdparm command and for NVMe nvme.

@naumek could you please suggest an edit for this line accordingly?

Maybe something like this?
1. Identification: Film the Serial Number via BIOS/CLI (dmidecode) and the physical Asset Tag sticker (if present).
2. Initiation: Boot ShredOS; use nwipe for HDDs, hdparm for SATA SSDs, or nvme-cli for NVMe drives.
