  1. My microsoft account on a laptop I no longer use


    there are several other computers from where I used to work that I set up for the company and all have my Microsoft account attached to them at start up. How do I go about deleting them? I have deleted the account but will still be accessible for 60 more days.Yes, the Microsoft account is the "administrator" on these computers. And no, I do not have access to these computers any longer. But they are accessing my email through the outlook app on the computer as well as my personal onedrive. I have changed the password, but since they haven't signed out of the emails, they still have access

    :)

  2. How to permanently remove laptop device from my Microsoft account

    At this location https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4026440/microsoft-account-manage-your-devices I found these instructions:

    If you don't use a device but it still appears in your devices list, here's how to remove it:

    • Go to account.microsoft.com/devices, sign in, and find the device you want to remove.
    • Select Show details to see info for that device.
    • Under your device's name, select More actions > Remove.
    • Review your device details, select the check box, I'm ready to remove this device, then select Remove.

    I successfully completed Steps 1 and 2 but could not find Step 3 -
    Under your device's name, select More actions > Remove

    So it seems that these instructions no longer apply.

    I want to remove this laptop from my account because I no longer have it.

    Suggestions appreciated.

    Thanks
