Selling old desktop: how to add new user and remove myself

If you are going to sell your computer, the best way is to format it, I recommend a hard format. But if you don't want to bother, you can reset your computer's operating system.

In the Settings app on your Windows device, select System > Recovery

If you don't want to reset your PC:

• Add a New User with Admin Privileges:
  • For Windows:
    • Press Windows + I to open Settings.
    • Go to Accounts > Family & other users.
    • Click Add someone else to this PC.
    • Follow the instructions to add a new user.
    • After adding, select the user and click Change account type.
    • Set the account type to Administrator.
• Log in as the New User:
  • After creating the new user, log out of your current account.
  • On the login screen, select the new user account and log in with the credentials you set up.
• Remove Your Account and Profile:
  • Again, for Windows:
    • Log in with the new user account.
    • Open Settings by pressing Windows + I.
    • Go to Accounts > Family & other users.
    • Find your old account under Other users and select it.
    • Click Remove and confirm to delete the account and its data.
