When your grandparents are selling a laptop and they don't know what is needed to be done, the buyer should be verifying the device is in a suitable manner for purchase. Bare minimum, turn it on and sign in to verify it works. If they're recycling it, the recycling company should tell them "hit the reset button before sending it to us" and take the 2 seconds upon receiving it to verify, rather than waiting to learn a month later when the owner isn't known.
