Windows 10: Computer reverted to an old computer’s settings, how do I fix this?

My daughter got a new computer earlier this year, but when we set it up we used the same google sign in as her previous computer. I don’t know how to describe it, but once in a while her computer changes all of the settings and everything to the old computer. How do I fix it?

Worth fixing this old computer?

I have an old computer, with it's HDD fried. I'm contemplating fixing it, but it has EXTREMLY LIMITED upgrade potential, due to no GFX port, very old CPU socket (478), SDRAM, no SATA and it's an Intel.

It's specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-6WMM7 Packard Bell
RAM: 2x64MB unmatched RAM Modules
CPU: Unknown Intel Celeron
CD-RW Drive,
250W PSU

My question is, is it worth fixing this? To fix, I need to spend £25 on a new HDD, but dunno if I should, cuz that could buy me a new case. What do you guys think?

 

One computer cannot access other network computers.


So I've tried every troubleshooting step I know:

• Double checked that Net Bios was enabled
• Ran a bunch of network commands:
  • flushed DNS
  • registered dns
  • pinged and located the named computers successfully
• Reset my router to factory settings

Nothing works when I try to access via explorer. I'm still baffled by the fact that every other computer can access each other AND access this computer. It's just the outgoing connection from this machine that doesn't work.

Any thoughts?

 

How do I reformat entire computer?

Update:

• I probably should have taken better notes on what I've already tried
• I created the USB flash drive as directed in #26. That did indeed install W10
• I now am at the same point that I described in my post #6, with my drives still being dynamic rather than basic and the following exceptions from my post #6 (not sure)

- Now all of my data is on the C:\ drive rather than the various folders like "My Documents
- I apparently need to reinstall my display driver. The display is wonkey (circles are ovals) and I can’t seem to adjust using the settings menu.
- Other partitions that came installed with my HP notebook like System, Tools, and Recovery now have different drive settings

So I’ve come almost full circle except with a few steps backwards. I’ll try more carefully to follow Post #2 and #7 as suggested. Possibly I missed as step with those earlier. I’ll also check with my other software to see if there is a simpler way to revert my computer back to the way it was out of the box.
