I like your tip about backing up your data to make sure that you don’t lose anything during the repair. My husband mentioned that the computer he uses to work from home isn’t working properly. I think we should find a professional with experience in computer repair to help us.

the best advice is use an external hard disk if it’s a laptop, or a secondary hard disk if it’s a desktop or an encrypted cloud drive like google drive, dropbox + boxcrypt store all your private documents such as bank details, private keys of your server, personal documents. use lastpass to store password. use chrome for browsing. for more protection use windows bitlocker to encrypt the entire C drive (but it will slow down the computer so not recommended unless you want high security). that’s all you have to do, then you don’t have to do any of these.

At this rate, just do your own work too.

Just realized something… what about stored WiFi passwords? It seems that these can be retrieved easily by going to Network Settings and check “Show Characters”. Now, the technician knows your address (from the service ticket), your SSID, and your WiFi key… The key may also be added to the list for dictionary attacks as well since many people probably use same key for passwords as well.
