How can the Microsoft Account be removed?
A friend has an old poorly working laptop that she wants to give to some needy student. This laptop has Windows 7 Home Premium installed. I have the Windows 10 installation media on a USB drive and I used that to format the hard drive in the laptop and install Windows 10 Home. Then it got to the point where it REQUIRED a Microsoft account before it would proceed with the installation. I provided my Microsoft account because I read I can later change the sign in to a local account.
The question I would like answered is, when I switch to a local account will my Microsoft account and any associated information be removed?
Thanks,
Ak
