Electronics can be particularly tricky to relocate. Properly securing your computer and other electronics for a move is important, especially if you are not going to move these items yourself. To prepare to move your computer, be sure you have all the necessary packing supplies, such as packing tape, moving boxes, bubble wrap, and a moving blanket or towel. The first step of moving your desktop computer will be unplugging and powering down the computer. Next, detach any cords you can, wrap them neatly, and place them into a bag. Wrap your monitor in a towel or moving blanket to protect it, and place it in a cardboard box big enough to hold the monitor, central processing unit (CPU), keyboard, and mouse. You can also wrap the CPU, keyboard, and mouse in bubble wrap before placing them in the box. Finally, label the box as fragile and indicate what is inside. You should also note which side of the box is the top, so the movers are aware when moving your desktop computer.
