To change the name stored on my dell computer

Hello, I bought this computer at a yard sell and want to change from the original owner to myself. Wants to be saved for me

If you bought a computer at a yard sale, the best thing to do is a complete reinstallation of the operating system and any software that you want to keep.

Use the Belarc Advisor to get as much information (including the software product keys) as you can from the machine, and then perform a full erase of the disk with DBAN and end with a new installation of Windows operating system and the software accompanying you want to keep.

There are shortcuts that ignore some of these steps, but I wouldn't trust what anyone of a yard sale more further than I could throw.

Addendum: Dell's Support site will be very useful providing drivers and support software. Keep your serial number (7 digits) to help you on the site.

    You can change usernames, but you cannot change the profile names.

    If you want a new profile name, the best method is to create a new user with the desired name.  After that, you can copy the data to another profile to the new user name or simply delete the other profiles.  If you want to copy the data, simply pretend that the existing account is corrupt and follow the steps in the following article:

    "How to recover damaged Windows XP user profile"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555473 >

    You can delete the old user profiles by removing the users in Control Panel users or go to:
    Right click on "My Computer"-> properties-> Advanced (tab)-> settings (in the user profile section)

  • What exactly happens when you change the name of the computer, and it asks you to restart?

    What exactly happens when you change the name of the computer, and it asks you to restart - relating to the registration and identification of network?  Specifically when a computer isn't yet in one area but is still in a working group.  Y at - it show any PC by informing other computers it's name has changed?

    Computers into working groups are actively seeking each other, so if you rename a computer, it will not be shown anything. The restart is to erase the name of origin since the system cache, he will think that it's always the old name until the reboot takes place. Work computers is simply 'shake hands' with each other whenever they need to communicate.

    Computers that are part of a domain are created a 'computer' account that is assigned a random password that changes every 30 days by default automatically. These computer accounts work almost identical to an Active Directory user account, which means that they are not proactive they simply cached credentials with their permissions to provide if / when requested by heritage in the environment.
    Users and computers Active Directory accounts are stored in the NTDS. SAID the database, the backbone of an AD environment. When a computer name changes in one area, it takes the PC restarted simply for the PC. The change of name in Active Directory will replicate throughout the environment based on the settings of replication of this environment.
    I'm too simplify all this, but the general concept is there.

  • How can I avoid losing image changes I've already done when changing the name of a folder?

    How can I avoid losing image changes I've already done when changing the name of a folder? Whenever I have change a folder name (after having published images), Lightroom "updates" the images in this folder and any changes I've made have disappeared!

    Thanks for the update.

    This isn't the correct workflow.

    When you rename a folder outside of Lightroom, it causes the link between this issue and Lightroom to be broken and images will be missed in the Lightroom Catalog

    and if you re-import them same images after that, it will import the original images and not the changes

    Lightroom does not store the original images it contains. It works on the previews and the changes you make are stored only in Lightroom.

    So, you have to rename or move this folder in Lightroom instead of doing outside so that you do not lose your changes.

    To rename a folder, select the folder name in the library module > right click / Control click and select Rename folder.

  • How to change the names of the OUT parameters

    Hi all

    I have a requirment as I'm a "sample_procedure" with two parameters and two stored procedure PARAMETERS.

    sample_procedure (p_new IN varchar2,
    p_old IN varchar2,
    p_start_list OUT t_start, - table type
    p_end_list to t_end); -table type



    now, I want to change the names of two of the parameters OUT without disturbing the one (sample_procedure) original. so for this, I need to create new stored again procedure.then SP, I call "sample_procedure". returned variables should change as mentioned name new bellow.the Sp mancunts also have the same parameters of entry... like


    sample_procedure (p_new IN varchar2,
    p_old IN varchar2,
    LIST_ONE OUT t_start, - table type
    LIST_TWO to t_end); -table type





    the p_start_list should be replaced by LIST_ONE


    the p_end_list should be replaced by LIST_TWO


    the new SP should behave same as 'sample_procedure', but with THE different parameter names (LIST_ONE, LIST_TWO).


    can someone guide me please with an example... Thanks in advance.

    It looks like you want

    create or replace procedure sample_procedure (p_new      in     varchar2,
                                                  p_old      in     varchar2,
                                                  list_one      out t_start,  -- table type
                                                  list_two      out t_end)   -- table type
    as
    begin
       sample_procedure (p_new       => p_new,
                         p_old       => p_old,
                         p_start_list => list_one,         -- table type
                         p_end_list  => list_two);        -- table type
    end sample_procedure;
    

    Although I think that maybe you're in trouble because you will not be able to call the procedures more due to the same overload (same name, same types of arguments)...

  • Change the name of the file of "Import.xls" selection in Applescript

    Hi, I'm a tiger, but I try to change the name of a file in a folder (which can be any name that is) a name known.  In the end, just trying to import a file known to filemaker and need the name to be a known name.  That's what I have so far, but I have simply not success.  This goes to the folder 2 window and selects the first file... no problem, but, I can't seem to change the name of 'import.xls '.  Only excel files will be present in this folder, so I'm not worried about it.

    The other thing I would do is if there is no file in this folder to jump above everything and do nothing.

    Thanks for your help!

    Tell application "Finder".

    activate

    the value target of Finder window 2 to folder "Orders_to_Enter" of folder "Documents" of the file 'MINIJOHN'from folder 'Users' of startup disk

    Select the first file of the window of Finder 2

    Try

    the value the name of the selection of "IMPORT.xls".

    end try

    end say


    say

    Hello

    No need to manipulate the selection. You can just write something like this:

    set d to (path to documents folder as string) & "Orders_to_Enter:" as alias
    tell application "Finder"
        --open item d -- optional
        tell (item d's file 1 whose name extension = "xls")
            try
                set name to "IMPORT.xls"
            end try
        end tell
    end tell

  • How can I change the name of the ion HD my Time Capsule airport

    My time capsule airport has changed its name to data and now I can't use it. What can I do?

    Not sure why you can't use 'Data' as the name of the disk hard Time Capsule, since it is the default value.

    But, if you want to change the name of 'Data' to something else...

    Open the AirPort on your Mac utility... (Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility)

    Click on the image of the time Capsule

    Click on edit in the window that appears

    Click the disks at the top of the next window

    Next to Partitions, you will see "Data".

    Click directly on the name of 'Data' and the box will change to allow you to edit the name, just as you can change the name of any other player

    In the example below, I changed the name of the drive 'safeguards '.

  • TB is automatically changing the name of the sender

    Here's a strange. Whenever I get an alert message from Twitter to one of my email accounts, TB change the name of 'From' to 'James Smith (via Twitter)'. This includes anything sent from the address "[email protected]". I checked all my Message filters, and there is no rule, put in place to rename incoming emails from Twitter, so I'm stumped.

    For the record, I doubt that this has nothing to do with Twitter. It is a question of Thunderbird.

    What is in the source code headers?
    Select E-mail
    Click on "More" and select "view source".

    Y at - it any mention of "James Smith (via Twitter)"?

    Check address books, including ' collected addresses:
    Y at - it any mention of "James Smith", associated with an email address @twitter.com? It might be in a name section "display".
