Older laptops can also be adapted for this purpose, with different kinds of storage to be removed, varying from traditional hard drives to newer, compact formats.

Disassembling the Laptop

To initiate the process, you will need to dismantle the laptop carefully. Focus on the following components:

• Hard Drive: Depending on your model, the hard drive may be a larger unit or a compact chip. In both cases, ensure that it is removed entirely.

• Camera and Microphone: For maximum security, physically remove these components from the laptop. Simply disabling them is insufficient, as it is still possible for third parties to manipulate functions. The camera and microphone are typically connected through a wire and can be removed during disassembly.
