Windows 10: How do I remove the MS account I signed into my new laptop on?

I received a new laptop today, and when I signed in my MS account on it, it turns out I signed into what I believe is an old account I haven't used in years. It's not attached to my Xbox account, and in turn I can't get the Xbox app to work properly on my laptop.I tried to add the correct MS account, but that hasn't fixed the Xbox app issue - AND I'm still basically logging in using my old account.How can I remove the account from this laptop, so I can set up/sign in to the proper MS account? When I got into my Accounts, I can see the account, but I can't remove it - only "manage" it. Any tips

:)

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:

 

Switch laptop sign in from MS account to Local Account questions

Hi, Ive just switched from signing in to my laptop with a Microsoft Account to signing in with a Local Account instead. My laptop was always listed as a Device on the opening screen along with a map showing its location when I looked in my Microsoft Account. Under Devices I could also view my laptop along with other bits of various information about the device and its location was always shown on a map there too. After signing into my laptop with my Local Account ..If I sign in separately to my Microsoft Account afterwards Ive just noticed that having switched to a Local Account my laptop isnt shown on the opening Microsoft Account screen anymore and its not listed in devices either. Is this normal behaviour? I was expecting to still find my laptop listed in Devices. Also...Under Update and Security/Activation..it used to say Digital Licence linked to a Microsoft Account. Now it just says Windows is Activated with a digital licence. Is all this normal behaviour if you sign into a laptop with a Local Account instead of a Microsoft Account?

 

Signed in with correct MS account -- how 2 remove wrong one

So I was setting up my new PC and accidentally signed in with wife's MS account. Logged out, signed in with mine, and all looked well UNTIL I learned my user folder is named after wrong account.





That first folder should read 'scree' from the correct user. When I look up users on this PC I see this --





The good news is that I'm the big circle and listed as Admin. That parrot represents the wrong account. I can't quite find how to remove it and, if I did, would it fix the 'bills' user folder issue?

My years on Macs have taught me to be UNBELIEVABLY CAREFUL in this type of situation.
