New Mac Wrong user ID I transferred all my ‘stuff’ from my old MacBook Air to my shiny new one yesterday. Thought I’d used only my details although my son had a login on the old one. Today I tried to update windows on new MacBook and the AppStore is registered with my sons Apple ID! Don’t know how this happened but really need it to be my ID.....how do I change this please?

After you install the OS the new owner will be taken to the configuration process and enter their own information. Your account information will no longer be associated with that device.
