I will say its a waste of time, because you didn't store any bitcoins in that laptop right? even if you did still the chances of recovering the wallet.file is less to none since you formatted it and used it for one years? Which is enough time to rewrite on all the space of your hard drive for sure by considering the year.
Both disk formatting and repartition don't remove the data and there is still a good chance to restore file/s even after the year of the disk usage. Stellar Data Recovery made this for when I lost the file after restoring OS via its backup image. During the restore the old partitions were deleted while the new ones were formatted. So it is always good to try,
