Have two new computers with WIN 11 (bought one and suddenly was given two others! Long story.) and stupidly signed into all three (with separate information, of course) not thinking I might want to "re-gift" one to a relative.
I don't want them to have a computer with my name in it, and so am looking for instructions to basically 'wipe' all the INPUT information while leaving WIN 11 looking virginal and un-mucked with.
Can be done?

Wow! Thanks to all who replied. You were a great help. Wiped and sent onward !
I understand your concern about giving a computer with your personal information on it to someone else. You can wipe out all the input information from your computer by resetting it to its factory settings, and that should leave WIN 11 looking brand new. However, before doing so, make sure to deactivate your windows keys to prevent any activation issues later on. You can find instructions on how to reset a computer to factory settings online. Good luck and happy gifting to your relative!
