• How can I delete the previous owner name?

  My brother bought a used computer from a store.  Previous owner's name is all over the computer, and I would like to remove it.  They do not appear in the accounts, but they appear otherwise.  Is there any method to completely remove the name of the previous owner of the computer other than to do a factory reset?  Down my stuff back here is not an option for me, and I lost a lot too try to get saved.

  Unfortunately there is no easy way to accomplish what you want.

  I always recommend a factory to anyone who buys a used computer. You never really know his State unless you do.

  You can get more by creating a new user account (this is a new account administrator) and set up the way you want, and then delete the original account.

  Local printers

  To install a printer, the most common method is to connect directly to your computer. This is known as a local printer.

  If your printer is a universal serial (USB) bus model, Windows should automatically detect and install it when you plug it in.

  If it is an older model that connects using the serial or parallel, you may need to install manually.

  To install the printer (add) a local

  1. Click to open devices and printers.

  2. Click Add a printer.

  3. In the Add Printer Wizard, click Add a local printer.

  4. Choose a printer port page, make sure you use a button existing port and the recommended printer port are selected and then click Next.

  5. On the installation of the printer driver page, select the model and manufacturer of the printer, and then click Next.

     • If your printer is not listed, click Windows Update, and then wait while Windows searches for drivers additional.

     • If none is available and you have the installation CD, click disk, and then navigate to the folder where the printer driver. (For additional guidance, see the printer manual.)

  6. Perform the steps in the wizard and then click Finish.

     Tips

     • You can print a test page to make sure that the printer is working correctly. See print a test page.

     • If you have installed the printer, but it does not work, check the Web site of the manufacturer for troubleshooting driver or updated information.

  My printer does not print.

  It is a difficult problem to diagnose because there are many printers on the market and many reasons why it could not work.

  First of all, make sure that your printer is turned on and connected to your Windows computer according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  Then, try the printer troubleshooter, which will attempt to diagnose and solve your problem automatically.

  Then, try to update the printer driver on your computer. Sometimes printer problems come from out-of-date driver software, and can be solved by installing or reinstalling, the latest driver.

  To find the latest driver for your printer, first check Windows Update, which is designed to detect the hardware connected to your computer and automatically notify you when new drivers are available:

  1. Click to open Windows Update.

  2. In the left pane, click search for updates, and then wait while Windows searches the latest updates for your computer.

  3. If updates are found, click install updates. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  If you do not see a listed updated printer driver, it is always possible that there are: your printer manufacturer might not have provided to Microsoft yet.

  Most printer manufacturers offer updated drivers on the sections of the support of their Web sites. Drivers are typically organized by edition and Windows printing model. When you have found the right driver, install it according to the instructions of the manufacturer. For more information, see update a hardware driver that is not working properly.

  If your printer still does not work, see the support section of the website of the manufacturer of your printer for model-specific troubleshooting tips.

• I have to manually install the driver for Aspire ZC-102, updates when I move Windows 8 to 10?

  I have to manually install the driver for Aspire ZC-102, updates when I move Windows 8 to 10?

  I was struggling with this ACER for more than a year. I have do it I have back when it was still under warranty, 14 months ago. Now I've updated free online through Microsoft for Windows 10 back in early August. I had hoped that my mess was a stack of the operating system, but unfortunately, it's still a piece. However, there is no virus. I run Malwarebytes Pro full time with it has quarantined of PUPPIES as well as McAfee Anti Virus full time. I use cCleaner to keep cut up. I NEVER garguillo or browsed porn.
  I've got max 16 GB of RAM. I have very few applications other than Office 2013.

  Even if this thing was a room at the time where it was running Windows 8 and 8.1, so I want to try to make it work on Windows 10 without having to start over with a clean install. That's why I asked about the drivers.

  your ZC-102 will not have a direct drivers updated from Acer support, which means you have to rely on Windows Update by itself the drivers or get them by yourself.

  Let me give you 3 Tips:

  1) never use Registry cleaners Windows 8.x and above all, they are no longer needed

  (2) uninstall McAfee, he kills the performance of your machine, use the antivirus windows integrated, it is good and very light

  (3) If you require loading time fast on programs, think about an SSD upgrade

  The only safe option is to perform a factory restore. If you do not, then you are likely to be confronted with a machine that is seriously infected or was hacked. Have a look here for instructions:
