Change registered owner windows 7 starter

[clare pc]

Hello,
Hi Ive just bought secondhand laptop hp mini 210-2000 with windows starter, am complete beginner but need to get rid of registered owners name throuout the system without complete system restore, have tried everything I can find on internet, but nothing comes up like what people are saying, or it just refuses to change name! thanks

Run the regedit command. Do a Find and locate the name. Change it in the places it's listed.

Hi Ive just bought secondhand laptop

For a used PC, your first move should be a full wipe and reinstall. I know it's a pain, but for your protection as well as theirs.
You never know what the previous owner(s) had in there.
