Windows 10: How do I remove my microsoft email/account from a laptop?

Hello. I was trying to reset my partner's laptop and now it has my email/microsoft account as the administrator and signin credentials, etc. I was wondering how to remove/change that? Every time they try to change their background, etc. it changes mine on my desktop and vice versa. Is there a way we can remove my account in exchange for theirs? We have tried adding them as an admin but it WON'T let us remove my account no matter what.

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:

 

Unauthorized Emails from my account?

It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.
