Selling Laptop - How To Remove My Account?

As the thread title suggests, I am in the process of selling my laptop and need to remove my account before sending it off to the new buyer.

I thought all I needed to set up a new admin account, log in to that and delete my account from there but the account set up (for the new admin account) keeps asking for an email address or phone number.

Any suggestions on how to do this would be appreciated

Stolen laptop

Hi MilaW24

I am sorry this has happened to you, changing you password was the correct thing to do and will not affect your ability to lock your laptop remotely . . .

However, in order for you to lock your laptop remotely, it must be online and still using your Microsoft Account

The sad truth is laptops are stolen in order to re-sell them for cash . . .

When a laptop is stolen it is most likely wiped within an hour of being stolen, so if the thief is caught with the laptop, it cannot be traced and proven it is actually stolen

While this is no consolation to you, it does mean that statistically you do not need to worry about anyone accessing your data, it will have long since been deleted by the thief

You can continue to try locking that laptop, should it appear online on the 'Find My PC' web page',it is however, unlikely that will happen . . .
