    I have an old desktop which I no longer use.
    It has Windows XP.
    I'm wondering what basic programs I need to leave on it before I delete/wipe the drives.
    Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks

    What are you doing with the PC?

    Nothing. Sitting there. Might pass it to some local voluntary group.

    What's the spec on the machine? You could stick Linux Mint or another light weight Linux OS on it.
