Windows 10: I want to give a PC with Windows 10 on it to a family member. Can I remove my log in so...

Hi. I have a PC with Windows 10 on it. I want to format the PC and give it to a family member. However I log into the computer with my account. If I just logged with their account instead would the Windows still activate properly? Is the activation tied to my account or the hardware in the machine?

Cheers.

Family Member Log In

Hi,

We need to clarify some information first for us to know what is causing the log-in issue of your family member. Kindly answer the following:

• How did you add the account of your family member to your laptop?
• You mentioned that you've set up a new email account. When you added the new email account to your computer, did you add a new user account or did you just a edited an existing user account?
• Does the issue also occur when you add non family member account to your computer?

It is possible that a service or program running in the background is hindering your family member from logging in to your PC. We recommend booting your computer to
Safe mode with Networking for us to verify if the issue will occur while Windows 10 is running with only minimal
drivers and services.

We hope to hear from you soon.

 

fingergprint log-in for family member

Hi Kristi

Through Windows Hello, you may have your family members register different accounts with their fingerprints.

Once you are signed as the family account administrator, you may follow the steps below:

• Right-click the Start button.
• Go to Settings.
• Select Accounts.
• Choose Family & other users.
• Add people using the Your family, or Other users options. The only difference between the two is with family, you get an access to child controls, for monitoring and blocking content.

Once your child is logged into his or her own accounts, they can now set up their own
Windows Hello log-in. Refer to the steps below:

• Click Start.
• Go to Settings.
• Choose Accounts.
• Select Sign-in options.
• Select Windows Hello.
• Choose Fingerprint, then Set up.

After performing the steps, kindly share with us the result.

 

removing a family member

I like to remove a family member from the account but when I select family member I do not see remove option and the only choices are either Block to sign or change. Any suggestion.
