  1. Purchased used Windows 10 Desktop but still connected to old owners Microsoft Account.


    Anybody know how to get past the Microsoft Account logon screen.


    I reset the Desktop and can log on the computer but can not bypass the previous owners Microsoft Account logon.


    I have left messages with the previous owner and they have not returned my calls.


    Thanks

    Anybody know how to get past the Microsoft Account logon screen.

    I reset the Desktop and can log on the computer but can not bypass the previous owners Microsoft Account logon.

    I have left messages with the previous owner and they have not returned my calls.

    Thanks

    Old Owner Name

    I bought a used Axim. I changed the Device ID in Settings -> System ->

    About. I changed the owner name in Settings -> Personal -> Owner Info.

    But when I use Send To on a Windows 7 "desktop", the option for my

    Axim lists the old owner's name. Not a major problem, but definitely

    annoying. I couldn't find that name in the registry (on the Axim).

    Can anyone suggest another place to look?

    Thanks.
