How does one handle their wallets when the need arises to change devices (i.e. time for a new PC)? Do you do a wallet restore on the new PC?
Safest way is to create a new wallet in your new device and transfer your coins to that wallet. A little more expensive now, when transfer fees are high, but if you don't have too many addresses it doesn't cost THAT much.
If you do this, then you do not need to worry, that the next owner of your machine could somehow be able to restore your wallet from your HD and spend your coins...
