A friend gave me his old laptop and I wanna know how to wipe it safely. And I mean the laptop is slow as hell and crashes on starting up a game.
I just wanna play kotor 2 with mods.

I use inverted controls. Also I hate fandoms.
If you see a woman and you think she's thicc, she's probably not thicc. Come on boy you know what I'm all about.

Wipe it down with a dry cloth and a paintbrush.

Use a cloth and apply your hand to the cloth onto the outside (not inside!) of the computer.

Windows gets deleted too? the hell does that mean
I dont have any keys or CDs so I guess I cant wipe it right now. I might as well stick with it until I can afford a computer.
This sucks ass. Cant even play a game from 2000

First try reinstalling windows. Make sure you write down the registration key here (or take a picture of it) before you totally wipe the hard drive.

(using a working computer) download Windows.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

After that, use Rufus to make a windows USB ISO.

If that doesn't work, if you can replace a battery you can replace a hard drive. Just Google it. Make sure you get an SSD and it's at least 64 GB.

After you get that, clone the data on the old hard drive to the new one using a desktop computer.

If opening a desktop computer to plug a hard drive in scares you, just buy this.

No guarantees it'll fix anything either. The problem could be any number of things... but it's likely the hard drive.

Not gonna lie, I read the topic title and thought you meant cleaning the keyboard and the rest of the outer surface....

Anyways, since you don't computer and it looked like reading helpful posts was just confusing you. It'd be best if you looked up some youtube videos about it so they can actually show you what to do.

Lol, this is how I got rid of Steam back in the day. I wiped my drive and started fresh to be sure there weren't remnants in the registry.

Yeah basically you want a new HDD or to format the old one and reinstall the base software.

They are just messing with you, TC.

You have to apply a magnet to the desktop.
