  1. How to remove a Microsoft Account


    It appears my prior postings regarding this issue have not lead to a solution to my problem.


    Below are screen shots that highlight my issue. When I turn on my laptop I see the following on the screen.

    I never put in a password to begin with.


    When I click on OK I get the following screen.

    You can see on the bottom left hand side of the screen you can see to accounts. The one with the photo is an account that I have add forever and is associated with an old version of Office that I purchased in 2016. The account below is one I accidentally created when I thought I disabling the PIN required on the account above.


    When I click on the top account I get the following screen.

    I then input my PIN and login. So my question is how do I eliminate the account without the photo?


    Another issue is I have a 3rd account that was created when I subscribed to Office 365 in December. I changed my profile photo so I could differentiate between the accounts.

    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.

    • How did you go about removing the account from the old laptop?
