    New laptop owner


    my dad passed and I had his Microsoft email accounts deleted. Now I'm trying to figure out how to register/change ownership to me.

    I really messed something up because now the Windows 10 is confused. It remember my dad pin for my sign-on for my email address, the online documentation doesn't match Windows 10 1803 on how to delete or change accounts or ownership.


    How do I update this laptop and removed all my dad's information?


    ps. I also tried something called winver and the information is 'user name' 'org name'. (this can't be right)

    :)
