As long as you have a computer. Best answer for this is households who only have 1 functioning computer. Usually low-income households.
One of my first jobs was working at a computer repair store. Customer would come in looking for a reformat and we'd give them a few options.
- We'll restore (pay an hour or so of our time).
- Buy a new licence (since we didn't stock restore disks and weren't going to spend time making them).
- Buy a new computer - with the advent of dirt cheap computers a lot of the time this was a viable solution.
These disks definitely fill a hole of having something you could give to clients and they could do the DIY route.
