Hi...I'm running WIN 7 on a Lenovo Thinkpad.  I am giving this laptop to a cousin (who could use one) and I am trying to clean it up so it can be totally her's.

 

What I have left to do is put her on as a user and take my account off but I am not sure how to do this exactly.  There is a document file in my name, I am presuming because windows is registered to me via Microsoft?  I would like my name not to appear anywhere on this laptop.

 

Can anyone tell me how to do this, please?

  Add a new account with admin rights, give it a password

and restart.  Log in as new user.  Go back to user accounts and delete your account.  Tell it to remove your files too.

Ok...having done that, upon search I still seem to find files in my name...what should i be looking for and can I delete them?

What sort of files are you finding?  What folder are they in?  Might help to click on Computer then right click on the C:  and select Properties then Disk Cleanup.  Check everything but Compressing the drive.  Windows likes to hang on to deleted files.
