Windows 10: How do I wipe my HP laptop clean like new?

I am gifting my labtop and I am trying to wipe it clean. How come after I performed the reset my name and password are still on the computer? How do I wipe it clean completely so someone else can use it as their own, without my information attached?

Bloatware on new HP laptop

Being a loyal hp/Compaq customer since 2006, I have bought since then 9 laptops from them, for my family.
I do the exact same thing with the proposed by @NavyLCDR process!
Create a full image of the hp installation, just for peace of mind and clean install Windows and reinstall the drivers as proposed, although nowadays that's not necessary either, as Microsoft provides all necessary drivers upon installation.
You might make an exception for the Intel RST and sound drivers. The first one after testing the best performing one for your system and the second, the best sounding one according to your tastes.
Update the BIOS to the most recent one, proposed by hp and don't bother with its bloatware.
As for HPSA, it won't do anything more than give you the same list you'll get with a simple visit to the hp support page for your PC.
Save yourself the time and effort trying to decide what is worth keeping or not, from all the hp installed bloatware! *Smile

I don't know why everyone hates hp so much? I have used 3 laptops from hp in last 10 yrs..latest is hp envy 17 3d , 4.5 yrs till now, first time encountered hardware problem now, that got fixed too with routine service...might need to replace fan later. But no major issue till now.. working like new even now
