    How to remove microsoft account from your laptop?


    Well I have recently bought this laptop and set it up. Unfortunately there was a defect due to which I had to give it back for checking, however they can't fix it and offering a replacement. Problem is I bought that laptop for the office work and set it up with my official account. Now I want to completely disconnect my current Microsoft account from that laptop as I can no longer use it and I am very much concerned about account's privacy. Any idea how is that possible?

    :)

    Remove account


    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
      Code:
      net user test /del
