How to remove the previous owner info/account?
My friend just gave me his old Lenovo Ideapad 710s after he bought a new machine. I did a Windows reset and told it to remove everything. I logged to it using my MS account. However, his info is still there as the system administrator. I saw something about "closing an account", but I didn't know if that was a synced account or a local account, In other words, if I closed his account, would I be closing HIS Microsoft account for all his devices, or just on this machine. It would suck to suddenly have all you accounts closed and not know how.
I thought a reset was setting the machine to what it was when purchased. I guess there's more to that in Win 10. How do I get the machine to transfer over form his account to mine? Would creating a windows install usb and reinstalling windows do it, or do I need to have him do something in his MS account.
