  3. Removing previous owners information.

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft community. I regret the inconvenience caused to you. Let me help you.

     

    I suggest you to create own admin account, login and then delete the account Edmond user account and choose not to save files while deleting the user account

     

    To create a Microsoft account

    • Type Accounts in the search bar and select the same.
    • Tap or click Add an account.
    • Enter the account info to sign in to Windows. There are four ways to do this:
      • If the person you're adding already has a Microsoft account, enter it now.
      • If the person you're adding doesn't have a Microsoft account, you can use their email address to create one. Enter the email address that person uses most frequently.
      • If the person you're adding doesn't have an email address, tap or click Sign up for a new email address. It's free.
      • If the person you're adding is a child, tap or click Add a child's account.
    • Follow the instructions to finish setting up the account.
    For more information refer the below link:
