    ...that if I first set up a PC with a local account, then log into a Microsoft account, and if Bitlocker has been enabled the whole time, then...

    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:
