Question

Change name on C drive

Jan 22, 2014 5:48AM PST

I recently purchased a used Dell Optiplex 790 from a neighbor. Each time I save something it shows his name "henry". I want to change this but I don't know how. Can you take me through the steps?
Thanks

Why not create a new Admin account and another account just for you?

Did you want to change the name of C drive or your PC.

If you want to change the name of C drive then just right click on it and rename it (for window 7).
and if you want to change your admin name then you can change it on control panel.
