    I had to temporarily use my personal laptop for my first week at a new company while waiting for a delayed delivery of my new company laptop. Now I'm trying to remove Microsoft Work Account from my Persona Laptop. When I go to Settings/Accounts/Access work or school, "Disconnect" does not appear

    :)

    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
