    Wiping my Computer/ linked via Microsoft account


    I just reset my old computer and reinstalled Windows. It's asking me for my email to link my accounts to the reset computer. I am going to wipe the computer before discarding it, using software purchased online. My question is : Will setting up the computer using my Microsoft account result in anything negative happening to my new computer when I wipe the old computer?

    :)

    Remove Microsoft linked account in Windows 10

    This question refers to steps 3 and 4 in the thread How to rename the User folder in Windows 10?

    The troublesome steps are:

    3) Remove original Microsoft linked account

    4) Link local account to Microsoft account if you wish

    I was stuck on those 2 steps. I couldn't find a way in Windows 10 to remove the Microsoft account.

    Any ideas?
