    How to eliminate an equip that is going to be donated of an account

    Hi J.Zandueta

    My name is Andre Da Costa; an Independent Consultant, Windows Insider MVP and Windows & Devices for IT MVP. I'm here to help you with your problem.

    You should just factory reset, choose to clean the drive and set it up with a dummy account for logging in. See steps:
