got the computer, needs update and my name instead of the former owner, please help

Purchased from personal, but he left all her things, but has not received the disc to reinstall or updaye, then, how can I do this without crashing the computer?

Thank you.

Buy a used computer, it's always a good idea to reinstall Windows to restore to condition buy and go from there.  It eliminates any malware content and possible questionable.   In the last semi computers OEM (Dell, Hp, Acer, etc.), there is a recovery partition on the hard drive that can restore your machine bought as a condition.  The manufacturer saves a dollar or two for the supply of the discs.  Usually it's hit a key or combination of keys when the first splash screen appears when you start the computer.  Go to the manufacturer's website, click on the link "Support" and search for "Download" and download the manual for your computer.  It must contain instructions on how to restore it.

If you decide to keep your current configuration, but to change the name of the owner, please see the following article:
