Hi all, could anyone tell me how to delete my user account name and password from windows 10 please? I want to return a laptop which I have just received but I have set up a user account. Thanks.
Fixed! Go to the fix.

Best bet would be a factory reset:
Open the Start menu and select Settings (the cog wheel).
Now type 'reset' in the search bar and select 'Reset this PC' on the left when the results appear.
It's under the Recovery section of Update & Security and you can now hit 'Get started' to begin the process.
During this you can select if you would like to keep files or do a full reset. Just click on
KeepRemove Everything.

This is from Microsoft:
"To back up info on your Windows 10 PC and reset it:
- Go to Settings > Update & security > Backup.
- Use an external drive to back up your File History.
- Once you've backed up all the info you need, go to Settings > Update and security > Recovery.
- Under Reset this PC, select Get started, and follow the instructions on the screen.
- Once you've reset your PC, make sure you remove your PC from account.microsoft.com/devices"
