I retired from the electronics industry 10 years ago. I live in a very rural community in east central Florida. The only person I know that is my age is my wife. I would like to expand my horizons and meet new and interesting people.
My hobbies are writing software (windows and android)...
I'm not a linux guy but sometimes it is wise to uninstall the old software and then re-install it in a new path. Some software saves settings based on the path to itself.
If the old computer was used on your home wireless wifi network, Immediately chage the login pw for that network.
In all probability, the answer to you question is, "Yes".
