Would people do a reformat of hard drive before they dump old computer or is there a way of keeping "Windows XP" on it just in case it is of use to someone? I am far too rusty on IT.
If you are going to dump it, I would certainly reformat the hard drive at the very least; and if you are very security-conscious/paranoid or whatever, I'd remove the hard drive and dispose of it separately; and if you're ultra-security-conscious, drill a hole right through the hard drive as well.
You could still pass on the computer minus hard drive to someone, via freecycle or whatever, as 'for spares or repair'; I've done that with a couple of old PCs.'It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.'
