Remove Machine Name Win 7?

[Daff_Duck]

I have a laptop which I want to give to my brother, Question is how do I get rid of my name/machine name so that in effect it is a completley clean install?

The laptop in question (if of any user) is a HP and has a recovery partition.

Thanks to anyone who can help

Just wipe it using the recovery partition and let him set it up as he wants.
