Preparing to sell

Expand Post »
I am getting a new system and would like to sell what I have. The problem is, I'm completely computer illiterate and don't know all the specs of my current computer. For example, I know that I have an Athlon processor, but nothing else about it. Can I pull this information up somehow? Also, how do I delete everything from my hard drive before I get rid of it? Any help for a newbie who can only surf the internet would be appreciated!!

Re: Preparing to sell

First step is to right click on My Computer on your desktop and then click on Properties. It should tell the Mhz/Ghz of your machine in addition to how much RAM you have.

Re: Preparing to sell

I suggest trying a program like Belark Advisor witch will tell you all of the hardware, software and other devices that you have on your computer. I'll get the link in a minute.
