Things to be Careful When Selling Used Mobile and Laptops in Pakistan
Selling your computer might be nerve-wracking if it contains much personal information. You may have also invested a significant amount of work and time in syncing it with your other devices. One of the first concerns that come to mind when wondering about selling your laptop is if you have adequately cleaned out your system. After all, who wants to give their personal information to a stranger?
If you want to sell your used machine for the highest possible price, make sure it's in good operating order and consider some things while selling used mobile phones and laptops.
Back up your Data:
Back up your Google account with backups of your app data (for example, saved games), contacts, call logs, texts, calendar entries, Gmail, Google Drive documents, web browser bookmarks, Google+ photographs, and more. Ensure that you've backed up all of your data and that everything you wish to sync is in order.
All of your personal information should be backed up and stored on an external hard drive or in the cloud. Even if you don't transfer your data to a new hard drive, you should create copies of your files and keep them with you. You may take your data with you and access it from any computer thanks to cloud services. However, there is always the possibility that your local files will be left behind. You can get advice from a computer specialist or enlist the assistance of a computer-savvy friend to determine which files you should back up.
Encrypt the Data of your Phone:
Once you've backed up all of your data, it's time to delete everything from your smartphone. You'll need to do more than a factory reset to ensure that all of your data is erased. However, you must first encrypt your data. Anyone who wants to read the data on your phone will need your password to decrypt it. If you like, you can also encrypt the SD card. Only do this if you intend to hand back the gadget together with the SD card and after this perform a factory reset on your phone.
Wipe your Hard Drive Clean and Install OS:
This is most likely the most important step to take before selling your laptop. Apart from physically removing all of your information, wiping the hard drive clean ensures that all of your data (including company-provided and individually licensed software, as well as storage devices) is completely wiped from your laptop, leaving no trace or possibility of recovery.
Disk wiping is required since formatting your machine would overwrite your whole hard disc numerous times, making it very difficult to recover your previous data. You should erase your hard disc once again to double-check that you've removed all of your data.
After this, you'll need to restore it to its factory settings. Without an operating system, no computer can function (OS). A backup drive was most likely included when you purchased your laptop with a Windows operating system. This DVD can be used to reinstall the operating system on your laptop.
Mobile or Laptop Information:
You will be required to offer specific details about your laptop or mobile's features when you put it for sale online. Keep this in mind and make a list of everything you need to know about your laptop or mobile. Make a note of the brand, the model number, the RAM capacity, the screen size, etc.
After following the techniques outlined above, you should clean up your computer and make it seem as good as possible. Cleaning your laptop or mobile makes it more aesthetically appealing, which makes it simpler to sell.
