HAHAHA. But, the ebooks are just not the same experience of a physical book. But, I do use both the ebooks and books - depending on the book type.

LOL.

I enjoy building Ikea products. It is adult LEGO for your home etc.

But, smart play by Ikea I would have to say.

betamonk··on Ask HN: How do I clean a Laptop from a previous setup by a Law Firm
jklein11,

The purchase of the laptop when bought new was over $2K. My wife is frugal and won't spend more money on another "new" or "refurb" computer.

Licensing is not an issue. It's the scarce time and how busy my wife is that I can't wipe and re-load.

But, reading everyone's comments the best way is to wipe. I will provide that option to my wife and proceed when I can to wipe and re-install.

Thank you for your response.

jklein11,

Thank you for your response and advice. Yes, she owns the license as well as the new firm she joined has purchased the software they use. She doesn't want to go through re-installing and asking for the software again because of the time crunch she is in.

The suggestion in buying a new laptop at this time is not an expense we can take on. I will have to think of something else as the clean wipe is the only way to do it I guess.

Thank you.

traviswingo,

That is my concern that there might be some traces left behind. I agree with anyone that will suggest a clean wipe but at this time I don't have that time allocated as my wife is in the middle of a few cases.

However, once I will get laptop for a longer duration, my goal is to do a complete wipe and re-install.

Thank you for your response.

The laptop is a Lenovo Thinkpad T450S that has a built in recovery partition with the original Windows 7 OS.

The issue at hand is that she doesn't want to lose all the software nor does she have the time to go through the complete clean up.

I would rather at this time be able to do a clean sweep and then when i will have more time to do a complete overhaul.

Thank you for your response.
