I just replaced my old Windows 8 computer and want to give the old one to my son. Once I'm done transferring everything over and deleting all my programs and data how do remove my Microsoft account? I want all my info off so he can setup his own account.

Finally got around to setting up the computer for my son today. Everything went OK.
Now when he gets home he can have all the fun of installing and setting up all his programs.
