Selling my pc

[(-DarkAngels-)]

So I’m about to sell my computer since it hasn’t been working for a couple months. The thing I’m most worried about is that when they get it to work, wouldn’t they have access to all of my games etc.? I’m not very sure what to do:/

well set your pc to reset to basic settings in the pc settings before you sell it

I couldnt do that before it stopped working🤷‍♂️

Do you have access to another machine? Put your storage drives (HDD and SSD) in that and format them all.

Question: Why would anyone buy your PC if it's broken?

then sell it without a harddrive or transfer the harddrive to another computer and wipe it. anything on that drive becomes theirs. this includes passwords, log in's, pictures, etc.

I have my old computers in the basement and use them for spare parts as needed.

If it were mine PC, I'd pull all the drives out and sell the PC sans storage.

So are you telling me that you're selling some metal junks you'd get couple of bucks for metal parts? You either find the cause of the problem, to rid of part you don't need, so you can get better price for parts that work, or fix it. But hey, who am I tell you what to do with your money.
Take off the disks from the PC and drill a hole through it, toss it out in recycle.
