  3. After factory reset, microsoft account is still there

    I suggest that you add a local account first on your PC, before removing the other account. Follow the steps below:

    • To create a local account on your Windows 10 PC:
    1. Press the Windows key + R.
    2. Type netplwiz, and then click OK.
    3. Click Add.
    4. Click Sign in without a Microsoft account (not recommended).
    5. Click Local account, type a username, and a password (if you'd like one).
    6. Click Next, and then click Finish.
    7. Sign out of the Microsoft account you want to delete, sign in using the local account you created, and then remove the account you want to delete.
    • To remove a Microsoft account from your Windows 10 PC:
    1. Click the Start button, and then click Settings.
    2. Click Accounts, scroll down, and then click the Microsoft account you would like to delete.
    3. Click Remove, and then click Yes.

    Unable to remove my microsoft account from a linked pc

    Hi Dave,

    To help you with your concern in deleting your Microsoft account from a device, we'd like to ask a few questions:

    • Have you tried deleting your Microsoft account directly from the old laptop?
    • How did you go about removing the account from the old laptop?

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you create a new local account with admin rights first, then remove the current Microsoft account by following the steps on this

    article
    .

    We look forward to your response.

    Thank you.
