When you get your new machine, use the files and settings transfer wizard to transfer your files and settings, then format the hard drive on the one you are going to sell.

Neither the DOS/Windows FORMAT command, nor the Windows install CD/DVD will securely erase data from hard disks.

Use a tool designed for that purpose such as DBAN.
