What to use to check old used computers for malware
What steps should I take after getting a used computer to ensure there is no malware without risking my other machines?
I want to start taking old computers off people's hands that either don't work anymore or they just don't have any use for anymore. The goal is to mainly salvage them for parts to use for other projects.

Secure Boot Problems
Hello,
I am currently having problems activating Secure Boot in Windows. I have an MSI motherboard, CSM is disabled, Secure Boot is set to Enabled in the BIOS, and Secure Boot Mode is set to Standard or UEFI. The hard drive is also set to GPT. TPM 2.0 is active.
However, when I run the command [msinfo32.msc\] via [Windows key + R\], Secure Boot is shown to be disabled. When I check via Powershell with the command [Confirm-SecureBootUEFI\], it also shows [False\].
To be honest, I'm out of ideas. Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

Monitor and PC not communicating
I recently got locked out of an old PC; took it to a local tech, and they bypassed PIN for me. Bought a new computer; it connects to old monitor just fine. I only have the one monitor, so I want to reconnect it to old PC to get data files onto a flash drive. I plugged in theHDMI cable, and the monitor is scanning for input, but won’t display the opening screen.
I’ve tried both HDM slots, made sure all connections are tight, and restarted both PC and monitor several times.
Any suggestions? The local tech is on winter break, or I’d ask them.
