    change ownership of HP Windows 10 laptop

    Hi,

    Can anyone help me change ownership on an HP, Windows 10 laptop? I just bought it and cannot get rid of the original owners setup information. The laptop still registers as being owned by the previous person.

    thanks,

    DB

    Changed Ownership of C:\ and Can't Fix

    Hi Greg,

    Let's get this issue sorted. To better assist you with this concern, we would like to know the following information:

    • Which account is the new owner of the C drive?
    • Are you using an account with administrator rights?
    • Have you tried changing the ownership back to yourself?

    In the meantime, let's try taking back the ownership by following the steps provided by
    BurrWalnut in the following thread:
    Is there a way to take ownership of my C drive?

    You may also perform a repair upgrade using a
    Creators Update ISO     file. This method can repair broken operating system files while preserving your files, settings and installed applications. For more information and steps on how to perform a repair upgrade, kindly refer to the wiki article created
    by Andre Da Costa on the following link:
    How to perform a repair upgrade using the Windows 10 ISO file    .

    Keep us updated on the status of the issue, and we will be glad to assist you further.
