You would also have to ensure you removed all documents that you have may saved, downloaded files, photos, etc. Also all licenced software that you may have purchased (other than windows obviously) otherwise your giving away your licenced packages to, meaning you cant reinstall them legally on your new laptop.

I would re-install if your going to sell, as it is likely to speed up the laptop, so the buyer is not lumbered with a machine that has slowed down from years of windows/applications rubbish accumulating.

But the OP states that they have only used it 15 times!

Yes but the OP also said they used it for interbet browsing, which sounds pretty dodgy to me...

Thanks Macman - the CCleaner has worked a treat!

Russjk - what do you think browsing means?? I would class it as exactly that, ebay, shopping and comparison sites etc! Time you stopped judging everyone by your own standards eh!

To all those who genuinely tried to help - thanks

Whose standards shall I use then? And who am I judging exactly?

Perhaps my comment would make more sense to you if you pay closer attention to your spelling (i.e. the "Interbet" part )

Online betting sites can be sources of malware. Not a particularly funny joke, but that's what you get.
