    Remove your account in WLM. Then remove WLM and if you want to, reinstall it.

    if you want to be sure there is nothing on it that is personal, I recommend to wipe the drive and a fresh install of window.
    just my 2 cents

    Thank you both for valuable information, note taken. I have no copy of Windows 7 64bit other than installed by the manufacturer of the computer in question. Requires a back to factory setting, disks provided, taking several hours to complete. Do you suggest a much quicker way. Thank you, Bobby.

    The only way it would take several hours to reinstall the OS is if you got ALL the updates. I did one a couple of months ago and it took me a total of about 4 hours all together including all the updates and 3 or 4 security programs that I installed.

    Mr Bill, I agree with you entirely. In my case it lasted approximately six hours to reinstall all software loaded in computer prior to factory settings.

    Bobby. At least that way you are 100% sure you have not left any of your personal stuff on there.

    Mr Bill, I will certainly think over your last comment. Matter of interest, has Microsoft referred back to Defender in Windows 8 as to Windows 7 Security Essentials?
