Removing user/admin from computer without loosing files

Hi, I have a dell laptop that I want to gift to a family member. When I set it up new I linked it to my hotmail account so when it boots up it shows my email address and I login. I want to keep the laptop just the way it is but remove my login and email and assign a new administrator. Once with windows 7 I messed with the admin account and messed up everything so wanted to seek help here first. What is the proper way to remove me as a user and replace the login and administrator without loosing or changing any of the files or settings on the computer? Thank you.

Hello Matt, and welcome to Eight Forums.

If you like, you could switch your current Microsoft account on the PC to be a local account with a name of your choice instead without losing anything.
Your family member could then just continue using that local account or switch it to be a Microsoft account using their own email address.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
