Receiving prompt "your organization needs you to change your password after remaining work account from personal computer

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you receive a prompt,” your organization needs you to change your password” on your computer. I’ll certainly assist you with the issue.



Ideally, if we sign in using a work account on a personal computer, there are chances that certain policies are applied on the computer. These policies might not be removed from the computer even after disconnecting the account from the computer. You
might need to get in touch with your local IT admin to get help in removing the policies.



However, as you are receiving a prompt "your organization needs you to change your password", let us try a couple of troubleshooting steps and check:

1. Type command prompt in the search bar on the
   Taskbar.
   
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and select
   Run as administrator.
   
3. Now, type/paste the following command and hit Enter:
   wmic path Win32_UserAccount set PasswordExpires=False
   
4. Close command prompt window.
   

I would also suggest you to post your query in
TechNet forums, where we have support professionals to assist you appropriately.

convert or change Windows 10 from 'personal use' to 'organization'

Just curious if you understand the difference between the "personal use" and "organization" choices? The "organization" choice requires the computer to connect to a domain controller (server) and it is managed via the server. Do you have a domain controller server on your network? Or do you think you should have set the choice to "organization" just because the computers are used in a business or other organization?
