Decommissioning an Old PC

Links

Have you just bought a replacement computer (PC or Mac)? Are you planning to recycle the old desktop or laptop?
Do you want to be able to keep the data from the old PC or ensure that it is not used by anyone else?
Do you want to be able to transfer your photos/music/videos to a new computer?
If so, we can help. Our typical prices start from £50 per hard drive inc. VAT.

2 years after buying your last computer, you may have looked for a better and faster machine. And over the last few months, you have purchased a new computer.

So what do you do with the old computer? There are options depending on what your requirements are. If you are selling your old computer, you need to ensure you have backed up your data and then deleted all your data! Make sure your old data is deleted and not recoverable. Just because you have deleted your data files does not mean that another user cannot recover this data. There are a few software packages available from the internet that will make sure the data is not recoverable. We do not provide this service – just use one of the packages from the web. Contact us if you would like recommended packages.

However, if the old computer is to be recycled via, for example, PC World and Currys, you need to make sure again that your data files are backed up and deleted. A quicker solution here is to remove the old hard drive with the data intact.

We can remove the hard drive from your old computer so that you can access the data from another PC from a USB external drive. This means that not only do you keep your data safe from possible ID theft but you can also transfer your photos/music/videos by simply drag-and-dropping the files into a folder on the new computer.

This service will include:

Fraser IT Services removing the hard drive from the old PC, either on-site or at our office in Bingham, Nottinghamshire.
Installing the hard drive into a USB external drive chassis.
Testing this new external drive to ensure the files are accessible.

Prices start at £50 per hard drive including VAT. Call or email us for a quote. We will beat any like for like quote.

We do not purchase decommissioned computers. If you are unsure of what to do with a decommissioned PC, PC World and Currys have a recycling service for electronic goods. More details about that service can be found here.
