    There’s another account/user I can’t seem to get rid of from my PC


    Hi everyone, So I recently just reinstalled Windows 10 as I was having some problems with the PC. After reinstalling, it asked me to enter the activation code for the Microsoft Windows 10, that was fine. There was a screen that asked me to sign in with a Microsoft account or to make one. We decided to make one as we couldn’t bypass this screen without signing in. I have used the PC with multiple users created on it before, without the need for a password. Where it’s as simple as clicking the “Sign in” button and it would log on. I saw on google that if you make it into a Local account you woul

    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.

    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.

    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.

    There’s another account/user I can’t seem to get rid of from my PC

    What User Account should I use for PC to be sold

    I'm going to sell my PC but before I do, I'm going to put a clean install on the machine. As part of a normal installation steps, you normally login to your MS Account. But I don't want to put my account on the machine, I'm hoping you have a solution that will allow me to put some local/temp user account that the new owner can then login with their MS account name and password after they purchase the PC.

    I looked through the User Tutorials but nothing jumped out at me.

    What do you suggest?

    Greg
