  1. How to change log on purchased computer


    I purchased a laptop with Windows 10 installed. I have added several accounts to the computer but cannot remove the log in name of the previous owner. He sent it to me with the Admin account having an open password so that I can do what I want, but his name comes up as the default log in when the computer is started. How do I go about changing his account showing up?

    :)
