Windows 10: 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.
   

 

how do i reset a asus laptop to factory settings?

The process of resetting an Asus laptop to factory settings can vary depending on the model and operating system. However, here are the general steps you can follow:

1. Back up your important files and data to an external hard drive or cloud storage as resetting your laptop to factory settings will erase all data.
   
2. Press the "F9" key repeatedly while the Asus laptop is booting up. This will take you to the recovery menu.
   
3. Select "Restore factory settings" from the menu.
   
4. Follow the prompts to confirm the reset process.
   
5. Wait for the reset process to complete, which may take several minutes.
   
6. Once the reset is complete, your Asus laptop will be restored to its original factory settings.
   

 

Microsoft Account Password Reset

Thanks for the reply, but it does not help me. The website does not proceed past step 4. After entering the security code, the website does not proceed to step 5. It does not give an error message, it simply greys out the next and cancel buttons and hangs
indefinitely.

Reset your password

If you can't remember your password, follow these steps to get into your account.

• Go to the Reset your password page.
• Choose the reason you need your password reset, then click Next.
  
• Enter the email address you used when you made your Microsoft account. This could be any email address, or an email ending in a Microsoft domain like hotmail.com or outlook.com.
  
• Enter the characters you see on the screen (this lets us know you’re not a robot), then click Next.
  
• If you've added security info to your account, we'll send a one-time code to the alternate phone number or email address you gave us. After you enter that code on the next screen, you'll be able to make a new password.

I'll try your "Get account help by email" suggestion and post the solution here when I've found one.
