[QUOTE="JeffL, post: 1886057, member: 341346"] I did this when I moved from Microsoft to Apple in 2012 (never looked back!). However, I have a question. If a trade-in allowance is on offer from Apple when buying a new Mac, would it be safe to take that route if the old Mac were reset it to Factory settings? Reading the blurb on the Apple website (U.K.) it says 'We’ll give you a pre-paid trade-in kit or you can take it to an Apple Store'. I am not sure where the trade-in Mac goes when using the pre-paid route as It also mentions an Apple Trade-in Partner. So, safe to trade in from a privacy and security angle? [/QUOTE]
