Windows 10: Why can't I remove sign oin pin? Is it MY laptop or Microsoft's?!

I want to know why I am forced to have a pin on my sign in on my laptop. Who's laptop is it? Is it MY laptop, or is it Microsoft's. I never would have bought this laptop if I knew I couldn't make my own decisions with it, but I guess I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN. I AM SO ANGRY THAT I PAID FOR THIS LAPTOP AND NOW I FIND I DO NOT CONTROL IT, EVEN SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS A SIGN IN PIN IS OUT OF MY HANDS!!! This is exactly why the people of the world want NOTHING TO DO with ANY mainstream corporations anymore. We're building a new system and YOU WILL NOT BE PART OF IT. We DO NOT want anything to do w

Hello, this is Emily

If you go to Settings > Accounts > Sign in options, scroll down to mid page, under "Additional Settings",Make sure "For improved security, only allow Windows Hello Sign-in for Microsoft accounts on this device (Recommended). " is turned OFF. Restart the computer. you should be able to remove PIN.

If you still cannot remove it, one more place to check. Go to Settings > Accounts > Access Work or School, if there's a work or school email listed there, click on it, then disconnect. Restart the computer, and try to remove PIN again.
