DIY | Pulling Treasure From PC Before Recycling

Hey, everyone!

This Acer all-in-one PC has been sitting in my garage for over half a year. It was originally owned by a family member who then gave it to my mom to upgrade her prior, older system. But then not too long after my dad bought her a more current refurbished computer. This Acer was no longer needed. Per being the tech guy in the family I was given this PC to then take for recycling. I know I had no need for it myself.

Before dropping it off for recycling I thought I would see if there's anything of value I could take out. The common three items I (and I bet many of you) take out of old systems are CPU's, hard drives, and memory (RAM).

Prior to opening up this system I did want to see if it would allow us to install Windows 10. When it was given to my mom it had Windows 7 and while at my parents' place we had trouble installing Windows 10 from a flash drive. It would cause an error on the first part of the install. Today, it did work on my end. Oh well, time to start pulling out those components!
