How do I do this so I came safely dispose of it?

Take the HDD out and drill a hole through the platters - or just take the HDD apart and smash it to bits.

Install Ubuntu or similar over the top, taking the option to reformat the disk.

I'm afraid it will take several years of therapy to truly wipe the horror of Windows Vista from your mind.
