  1. Trying to remove account I set up my pc with.


    Sorry I don’t know anything about computers but I accidentally set up my pc with a super old email but once I added my current one it won’t let me remove the old one. Under my new account it says “manage” and “remove account” but under the old one it only says “manage”. Is there any way I can get rid of the first account? Any help is appreciated

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.

    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

    Microsoft Account-Remove Cloud Backup of Personal Settings question

    Hi,
    I looked at my Microsoft Account and under the Devices Menu at the top for my PC I noticed a More Actions dropdown list saying Remove cloud backup of personal settings which talks about turning off syncing first and then clicking on Remove button and then removing the PC from the backed up devices in OneDrive which is never listed in Windows 10. There is also another option in the More Actions dropdown menu for the PC in my Microsoft account saying Remove PC.
    For what purpose would you use these two options ? (Remove cloud backup of personal settings and Remove PC)
