The Apps in question are associated with the ID used to obtain them initially in this case the ID of the previous owner of the computer.

In order to have all the apps associated with your ID you will need to delete them and download again using your ID. Yes, you will have to pay for any apps that cost money and you have not purchased previously with your ID.
