Description
All-in-one desktops such as iMacs and Windows AIO PCs, any age or condition.
Considerations before bringing it
Treat an all-in-one as a computer, not just a monitor, because it can contain a hard drive or SSD. Easiest indications of monitor vs AiO (All in One) are an OS license sticker, a CPU sticker. Otherwise the model information is likely listed somewhere on the device.
Preparation notes
Back up data, sign out of accounts, and decide whether you need a wipe, shred, or certificate of destruction.
Data and privacy prep
Back up files first. If formal documentation is needed, request it before drop-off or pickup.
Data notes are not exhaustive. Devices may store information in drives, removable media, onboard flash, configuration memory, cloud/app accounts, SIM cards, or other locations. Back up, sign out, reset when possible, remove media you want to keep, and request documented destruction before drop-off if security matters.
Best way to bring it to us
Bring the full unit as-is. Remove dongles, discs, accessories, and stands only if you want to keep them.
