[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1573745, member: 56379"] Whenever I get a "new to me computer" (aka used);)...I always like to wipe & reformat the HD...then do a fresh OS install. This gets rid of the former owners info...and I start fresh (possibly eliminating any "junk" or other inefficiencies from the previous owner). Basically eliminating any "legacy" issues.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
