I am a retired Advanced Lecturer in electronics. I am currently looking for computers and laptops that I can refurbish and gift to people who are not in a position to buy.

Suitable computers for donation were/are:

Purchased during or after 2015.
i.e. Windows 10 computers (that may or may not be Windows 11 compatible).
Note: Microsoft's support for Windows 10 ends in October 2025.

Laptop or desktop tower (including standard, mini and micro towers).

I do not charge anything for my time or the computers so it helps if they are in working order.

Many people remove the hard drive as a security measure though it is not always necessary. Microsoft gives advice and instructions on how to prepare your computer for donation. Just search for "How to Prepare Your PC For Sale or Donation" and select the Microsoft's Support Page.

If you prefer, I can remove personal data (by securly shredding and formatting) before carrying out a total reinstallation of the Operating System (Windows) in accordance with Microsoft's instructions.

If it is not possible to re-install Windows, I install the Linux Mint Operating System as that helps to make any personal data impossible to retreave.

Demand far outstrips supply so I am grateful for donations.

Thank you for your consideration.
