  • Uninstall Windows?

    From RonTheGuy@ron@null.invalid to comp.windows.x on Tue Oct 20 15:54:13 2020
    From Newsgroup: comp.windows.x

    Was considering buying a used PC. Booted from a USB drive prepared by the seller, then installed Windows 10 but did not activate it. Decided not to buy the PC. The Windows installation is personalized for me; how do I remove my personalization or the Windows install? I donrCOt want someone else
    activating that Windows install as me.

    This is off-topic in this group. You want an MS Windows group, perhaps comp.os.ms-windows.misc.

    This is for the X11 Windowing System.
