Need to move computer and unplug it. Will this mess anything up as long as it is shut down before.?

Question

I am new at this stuff and my desk needs to be moved and some of the cords are tangled so it would be easier to just unplug it to do all that is necessary. I just want to make sure this will not do me harm. Check it up to be too cautious, but I would rather be safe than sorry.

Answer 1

As long as you log off correctly..there will not be any problems. One hint I have for you, is that try to code which cords go where, since I have routers and adapters for internet service two computers, I have extra cords. After you move it, you will be that much more aware of cords and where they go..... good luck...

Answer 2

As long as the system is powered down it will not hurt your data to unplug and move the system. When you turn the computer off, the heads of the hard drive go into a park state that keep them off the disk surface of the drive.

Keep in mind though that a hard enough jolt can still ruin the drive.

Answer 3

Just shutdown properly ur PC.
if you're in a hurry to move your PC to other location, just unplug the main power cord attached to your power supply. Then you can just deal your tangled cords later. :-)

Answer 4
