  1. Removing local account


    When I start my windows, I am having two options to sign in, one local account and one Microsoft Hotmail account.

    When I went to the settings/account to remove the local account I am not able to find it.

    Am I missing something or is there any other way to remove the local acct.

    Thanks.

    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:

  3. Local account installation question


    I'm fairly certain that Skip this step was available in 10.0.130 - the workaround in Step 20 (back button) is no longer required.

    The currently known, as of 10.0.130, ways to create a Local account sign-in are
    • Skip this step at the MS account creation phase
    • No Internet connection during the install
    • static IP (post# 2 by Fragment) - New (to me anyway)

    Can't remove local account

    Since Pete Crane is the name you have registered for your gmail.com account, I think the problem is to do with that type of account and not a local account.

    I suggest you go back to your initial post at the top of the page, click on the Edit post control you will see underneath it then change the title Can't remove local account to something like GMail user account listed twice on login screen.

    That change of title will attract the attention of those who understand online accounts. I never use them so I cannot help.
