#asknostr #Linux

I'm gonna be buying a couple of used Lenovo Thinkpads for a family member, and then wipe Windows off of them, then install Linux. I've done this for myself before with no issues, but since this will be for someone else, I have a question: Is there anything else i need to check or change on the laptops, in regard to possible malicious tampering on the laptops? Or is wiping Windows enough?

Erasing the disk is enough, the subject of the bios is unlikely to have any malware.

If the disks have a good % of useful life, it is not necessary to change them.

Use Ubuntu if it is for normal use.
