How To Remove Personal Files from HP Pavilion Dv5 - Windows 10

[murrayotl]

Hey All,

Have HP Pavilion Dv5 running windows 10, I purchased a new HP Envy with Win 10 installed.

I want to give DV5 to my step-daughter with Win 10 on it, and remove me from laptop and Win 10 completely. I have files stored on flash drives and OneDrive and have a Microsoft Account.

If I do a total reboot of Win 10 and have her as Administrator and get a Microsoft account, that should work? My Microsoft
Account and OneDrive will be able to link with new Envy laptop and with installed Win 10?

Thank you for Your Help, John

Hi,

Yes that should work if you reset Windows 10 completely which deletes everything in that laptop and will ask you to create a new account.

Here's the complete guide to reset Windows 10: (Click on Reset your PC and select Remove Everthing)
