Hi all,

Random question, but i am looking to sell 2 x HP Stream laptops in the run up to xmas as my daughters are older and need more powerful laptops/chromebooks for school etc and i was wondering how does windows 10 work if you want to remove your account or sell the laptop on to someone else? Or can't you?

Any help would be much appreciated.
 
 
Interesting, although I don’t have any windows 10 installation discs.
So if I format / wipe the Hdd how do I get windows back on there to sell?

I can't remember when a Laptop/PC came with a disc. Maybe back in Windows 95-98, NT4.00
 
to reset a windows 10 PC
Start, settings, update and security, recovery, reset. Once the reset has completed and you get to the option of creating a user account you can either shutdown there and then and windows will pick up where it left off, or you can create a generic account "user" and then let the buyer create a separate account for him/herself
