Selling your Windows 10 PC Don’t forget to do all of these things.
If you’re planning on selling your old Windows 10 PC because you’re getting a sweet new rig, you’ll want to make sure you clean your old device – and we don’t mean with a moist towelette. There’s a few steps you’ll need to take to ensure you’re not giving some stranger on eBay your personal information when you hand over your old device.
Chances are you’ve saved pictures, videos, and documents on your harddrive. When you wipe your computer you’ll lose all of it. Make sure you’re backing up anything you don’t want to lose. You can either use an external hard drive or cloud storage.
Make sure you check any folders you’ve created and migrate those files manually. Once this is done you can use the Windows backup feature for the rest.
Once you’ve finished backing up your files you can disconnect your external hardrive.
