This video shows you how easy it is to clear most of your personal info off an old XP machine, if you want to sell it or give it away (or recycle it for that matter).

Dude, you are a life-saver! In total I've probably spent about 8 or so hours trying to get rid of the previous owner's data off of a Dell XP laptop, and this video just showed me how to do it in 4 1/2 minutes. Thanks a million!

I wanted to render my personal data inaccessible before donating my old Toshiba laptop. I browsed for quite a while, finding most tutorials either too complicated or too simple. Then I came upon your video. Following your crystal-clear instructions, I was able to accomplish my task easily. Thank you very much for your guidance. Great job!

Thank you, just what we were looking for! We can now handover a used laptop we no longer need to someone who is in need. Excellent KZbin video.

Is there a way to remove your name from under the registered thing?
@gemmalouise6020 Жыл бұрын
Nevermind I found a way 😊 1) Go to Start -> Run, then type regedit and hit Enter. 2) Locate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version. 3) On the right panel, double click on RegisteredOwner, then modify the value to the name as you preferred. You can also change the organization name as well by double clicking on RegisteredOrganization and change the value. 4) Restart your computer to take the effect of the changes.

For me when I got to the step where u had to delete the old account, the program said not responding, so I cant delete the old accounts :(
@helpvideoguru4 жыл бұрын
It is totally normal for the computer not to respond when you start to delete an account. For a large account, with lots of past use, it can take hours to delete. There is all of the user's data to clear, plus thousands of temporary files and other junk that has accumulated over time. Be patient, it will eventually finish. But is some cases on older computers it may seem like forever.
