i have this asus that is about 2 years old. i want to give it away to my sister in law over seas.
how and what should i do to stay save.
i dont want my emails to go to her as well as some other information.
i am using windows live mail 2011,
all i do on this notebook is check email and bank and credit card starements. some ebay too.
not worried about my sister in law doing anything with the notebook. we want to use skype and majic jack.
i mostly dont want emails going to their because of my pay and stuff.
thanks to all in advance.

Vista or Windows 7? What is the complete model number.

It should have a Recovery partition on the hard drive you can access from the Start menu or by using a Fn key (usually F11 or Ctrl+F11) during boot. The users guide will tell you how.

Use it to restore the computer to it's factory new condition and send that.

The first time it's booted up they can go though all the setup and registration stuff.

windows 7 and the model number is k501

i think i will try your idea tonight. i want to start it back up for her. it is ok if it is registered to me i just would like to get allot of old stuff off of the notebook. i try and find old notebooks and repair them and give the new ones away. thanks for your help

From what I can find, F9 is the key to start the recovery process.

As I said, The first time it's booted up they can go though all the setup and registration stuff. Then she will be the registered owner.
