SiL has asked what to do to ensure her PC is disposed of safely. My reply: "Suggest use something like this download.cnet.com/Eraser/3000-2092_4-10231814.html?tag=mncol which is freeware. Supposed to obliterate data. Remove anything you might want to keep, like documents and photos to a portable drive, beforehand. Then remove hard drive and smash it! Not kidding. I could do that. The casing, monitor might be given to someone, but ensure a new hard drive is fitted and your old one is destroyed. Take the remains to the recycling centre."
I may be missing something - partly because I is certainly not an expert on MS operating systems etc. Or Mac for that matter. Anything important I should add to the advice? Thanks in advance.
