Windows 10: How to not add Microsoft Account after resetting laptop to factory mode?

I reset my laptop to factory mode so I can give it away. When rebooting the laptop, my only option was to set it up with 'my' Microsoft Account. How do I bypass adding my Microsoft Account to the startup procedure?

Laptop factory reset..with no Microsoft account info

I want to sell my laptop & do a factory reset but when finished it always asks for my Microsoft account info to sign in...I don't want that..is there a way to work around that ?

 

After factory reset, microsoft account is still there

I suggest that you add a local account first on your PC, before removing the other account. Follow the steps below:

• To create a local account on your Windows 10 PC:
  

1. Press the Windows key + R.
   
2. Type netplwiz, and then click OK.
   
3. Click Add.
   
4. Click Sign in without a Microsoft account (not recommended).
   
5. Click Local account, type a username, and a password (if you'd like one).
   
6. Click Next, and then click Finish.
   
7. Sign out of the Microsoft account you want to delete, sign in using the local account you created, and then remove the account you want to delete.
   

• To remove a Microsoft account from your Windows 10 PC:
  

1. Click the Start button, and then click Settings.
   
2. Click Accounts, scroll down, and then click the Microsoft account you would like to delete.
   
3. Click Remove, and then click Yes.
