Re: Laptop upgrade ?

I backed up my data on a thumb drive(s) and loaded it into the new computer before the old one went all the way bad. I probably ought to refresh that backup to the thumb again. A person's data can be hacked, if someone is determined to do it. I have my whole family's info at the gov personnel site because I held a security clearance. Of course, it got hacked. Pretty embarrassing to have to tell family members about it. I don't expect One Drive or some other mirror to keep it private, either. Fun fact- if you are on a company network, and can see your co-workers machines on that network, you can store information on their drive. Might be tough to retrieve if their computer is turned off or removed, though. At least it was that way when I was working. You can also view data that isn't in their personal folder. I store nothing in the Cloud.
