    Setup New Dell Laptop with wrong Account User, HELP??


    Hi all, I just bought my wife a new Dell Latitude 3400. I started to set it up using my Windows login and such. I want to change everything I did and restart the whole setup process with her information. I would like to go beyond the change Administrator and change user ID. Can I RE-DO the whole startup process?

    1. So she can learn how it's done.
    2. She will have a better sense of ownership.
    3. Keep wife Happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thank you for any help,

    Rich

    :)
