I will usually create a new admin account, delete the old account and then run the cypher program to wipe out the personal data.
I have several old Phenom II systems still running Win10; they work just fine however won't work with Win11 without a lot of jumping thru hoops to get it installed. Maybe I will install Linux on one and see what I think of that.
Most everything is not usable in a new system. Take it to a place like MRC recycling instead of just throwing it in the trash. If it's still usable, perhaps donate it.

I could no longer get this thing to boot up...the Iomega zip drive and the CD-Rom drive show as being manufactured in 1998....this is a very old desktop that I just kept because I just didn't take the time to get rid of it. Also....just kept it out of curiosity with the intention of disassembling it in my free time.
I have been told that the frame/box might be something a recycling center might use.
