    How to remove my microsoft account from laptop


    Bought a new Dell inspiron 15 5593 win10 pro laptop for the wife. When I first turned it on it asked for a microsoft account login. Not thinking, I used mine and now every time she uses it, my account name and avatar shows up. How would I delete all my info and replace it with hers? Also, I need to import all her outlook files but when I go to install outlook 2010, it again asks for my account info.

    Might look into User Accounts, add her with administrative rights as either a Microsoft Account or Local Account, reboot into hers, go back to User Accounts and delete/remove you but I'd keep all your documents 'just in case', they'll be in a folder. Reboot and she should show as the only account then try Office/Outlook install again. Leastways it has worked for me a couple of times. Or you could do a Reset which should require entering the setup information again.
