Hi All,


My desktop is running windows 8.1 and can't be updated to Windows 10 
because of the display or resolution or something like that, so I'm 
going to be getting a new computer and passing this one along to a friend.


Instead of formatting the computer, I'm thinking about just deleting my 
personal files and removing my account. Based on what I've read, I need 
to add my friend as an administrator, then sign into her account, and 
delete my account. If I go this route, what exactly is removed? Is it my 
files, my settings, my software, or only my ability to sign in?


If I opt for formatting the computer, how accessible is this process? 
I'm assuming I lose speech at some point. Is this right?


Thanks for any wisdom.


Ciao
