Is used computer safe to use without nuke and pave?
#10
It would PROBABLY be OK, but a nuke and pave is so easy at this stage (and such a pain in the butt later) that why would you NOT?

There is some small chance that someone might have installed some malicious widget with "root" permissions in the system someplace. Unlikely, but possible.
That's why it's just easier to blast it clean down to bare bedrock, and start with a shiny new install.
