    Need to reset user profile to none to sell PC


    Hi, Have Win 10 22H2 Build 19045.2251 Feature 120.2212.4180.0 on Dell T3600 Precision Desktop. Have installed from Media Tool.exe but had to create new user with name , email address etc. I am selling this so don't need my details on it. I have read a few tutorials etc., but still not sure how I can get it so there is no user and ready for a new buyer. I then want to install some free programs like Open Office, PDF Reader etc for the buyer. Can I do this if there is no user or do I do this now before my user profile is deleted. Appreciate the guidance Thanks

    :)

  3. Resetting a PC to sell on


    Am thinking of selling on my laptop - what is the best approach to getting it ready for that - should I reset the PC under the settings / options? Obviously I will not keep to choose any personal files and I will make sure our office 365 currently installed on it is uninstalled and removed before selling on. Presumably that option to 'reset this pc' will return it to how it was when I turned it on the first time having been delivered from the manufacturer?

    Once reset, what happens to the laptop which is listed under 'Devices' if I view my Microsoft account in a browser. At the moment I see my current desktop and this laptop listed under devices. Will it automatically dis-associate itself from my account and disappear from this list or will I need to remove it? We have a family account setup, so the laptop also currently shows under 'devices' my wife's account and my son's child account. Will these also disappear? Basically once sold I do not want any trace of the laptop on our Microsoft accounts. Presumably there will be no unforeseen knock on effect for our MS accounts on our desktop which will be keeping.

    Thanks,
    Wayne

    Reset Windows for new user

    I want to reset my Windows and clear the drive. I plan to sell the PC and want to reset it for someone. But when it resets it makes you set up a user account. Is there a step in the process on the reset/reinstall I could shut down and the user could pick up later and choose their account details and finish the install?
