I have obtained a 'legacy' computer with W10 on it. There is a single user in the configuration, and the computer is 'named' after that user, meaning that when I look at my router, or see the computer in my network neighborhood, I see this user's name. I'd like to add a new administrative user to replace this original user, so that all traces of that user are gone. What is the best way to do that?
Hello msummers, and welcome to Ten Forums. :)
If you like, resetting Windows would be a good option for that.
Reset Windows 10
Thank you Brink! I'll give that a try. I do not have a system disk, and W10 was installed as an upgrade to W8.1 - will that make any difference?
If you are prompted for installation media, then you can download a Windows 10 ISO using an option in the tutorial below, then create a bootable USB from the ISO.

It went smoothly indeed. No need for the recovery disk and the system is now completely reset! Thanks much for your help...
