Cleaning out win 10 PC
Hi, I'm clearing out my old win 10 PC before I give it to Goodwill and I'm trying to remove my logon pic and email address on the account screen. How do I do that? Thanks.

You could:
- clean install Win 10 completely (tutorial available)
or
- reset Windows (remove everything option)
Reset Windows 10
- and then also wipe free space to be sure.

For Windows 10, go to the Start Menu and click on Settings. Then navigate to Update & Security, and find the Recovery menu. Next, select Reset this PC and choose Get Started. Follow the instructions to revert your computer to when it was first unboxed.

Hello @esebm,
There are two options available . . .
> Clean Install Windows 10
> Reset Windows 10
The first option above is probably the best.
Make sure that you DELETE ALL PARTITIONS leaving a SINGLEUnallocated Spacein which to install Windows. You could even shut down the computer at the firstRebootso whenever it gets turned on next the new user can complete the installation.
I hope this helps.

Just pull the hard drives since they will just eCycle the machine

I recently tried to clear down a netbook for the same reason. Unfortunately there was not enough memory to do a clean install from the ISO file.
In the end I loaded Linux Mint on it.
