I recently got a new computer and was told not to toss it, what should I do with my old one?
Your old computer can be used in many ways. Here are some ways to use your old computer:
- Video Game Emulator Station: Do you miss the days of playing Retro Video Games and don’t feel like paying extra for a service that allows on demand video gaming? You can set up your old computer as a Video Game Emulation station where you can relive the good ol’ gaming days.
- Home Media Center: Feel like cutting the cord? Want to watch your favorite streaming service without a box or video game console? You can hook up your computer to your television to watch your favorite shows.
- File Server: If you love backing up your files, you can set up a File Server so that you can share your files on your home network.
- Donation: Certain places like Goodwill will accept your old computer for donation. Before you donate it, make sure all your files are backed up.
Rather than tossing your old computer, determine whether you want to use it, or donate it.
