I just was gifted a practically new laptop and I can't change the name from the previous owner to my own in C:/Users/(Previous Owner). I don't want to do a clean install nor just set up a new user's account (and you can't copy administrator account to administrator account, for some reason) because there's some software involved that I'd lose.
I've heard I could just go through the registry and find all instances of (Previous Owner)'s name and change them to mine there - will that actually work? Or am I just stuck with (Previous Owner)'s name as the "Owner" from now on?
Or does anyone know of a program that will do this for me?
