When my son died, the police confiscated the hard drive from his Alienware laptop. Is it worth installing a new hard drive? I am not a gamer, so the graphics, etc., are not really an asset to me. Thanks!

At some point they should have returned the drive to you.

It's still a computer - if you need a laptop, it would suffice, or you could sell it on craigslist. (I'd say for about 50% what it would cost new.)

I'm sorry for your loss.

It should work fine for general use (office, web etc) with a new hard drive. There may have been a disk that came with it to reload windows and all the drivers. If not, you can get one by calling Alienware.
