- Changing your email password after retirement or for any critical accounts you accessed from the work computer
- Enabling two factor on all your accounts

We don't backup PCs fwiw. If its not on a network drive or portal, there's no backup -- nm - budice Oct 25, 06:33 1
- We don't either. We rely on OneDrive for Documents, Desktop, etc. as backup of what matters. PCs are disposable -- nm - oblique Oct 25, 06:37
