DOD Wipe a hard drive, and... preserve the OS and expensive programs

retired technology teacher, 39yrs experience,


Been retired for 2 yrs, last experience was that Microsoft extended its license through some type of free program for computers that were used for education.
win 98, me, 2000, and possibly xp (not sure about that).

As Paul stated above if no licenses are altered or changed, should not be a problem or concern.
Someone paid for the program in the first place, so it should go with the computer when its sold, scrapped, etc.

Besides, in IN anyway the state universities offer software, microsoft OS, Adobe,etc for low $. Like 5$.

I have never used System Saver, but if was still in the classroom it sounds like something we'd be using everyday to restore donated systems and I will be tryin it for some old systems I have in storage.

Just my opinion,
