    How to remove Office 2016 w/o MS PIN?


    I installed Office 2016 on my wife's laptop. Now I want to remove it. I get a prompt to enter in my MS PIN. I don't have an MS PIN, so how do I remove Office without a PIN?

    Thanks

    I have never seen a prompt to enter a PIN to remove Office, but if it asking for a PIN, then I can only think that it is a Windows 10 account PIN.

    Agree with Stigg. I uninstalled Office 2016 only 2 weeks ago and it went without a hitch with no need to enter a PIN. You haven't been hacked have you? Run a full AV scan.

    I feel so stupid sometimes. I spent so much time trying to figure this out, posting this question and then I figured it out.

    I forgot that I had setup an admin account on this laptop when I set it up. Just a few minutes ago, I realized that I actually had an account and I logged on with it and removed Office 2016 as I wanted.

    Thanks for all of the feedback.
