To know your computer name, type sysdm.cpl in the Start/taskbar search and press Enter key to open the System Properties dialog. If you have multiple computers linked to your Microsoft account, we suggest you cross-check the computer name shown on the page to the computer name that you want to remove from your Microsoft account just to make sure that you are removing the computer that you want to sell or gift. To remove a device, click the Manage link present just below it. Step 8: The page displays all devices linked to your Microsoft account. To do that, visit the Devices page in a web browser, sign in using the same Microsoft account that you earlier used to sign in to Windows 10. Step 7: Now that you have unlinked the license from your Microsoft account, it’s time to remove the Windows 10 device from your Microsoft account. The Activation page should now display “ Windows is activated with a digital license” or “ Windows is activated” message instead of “Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account” message. You may now sign in to the local account that you just created and navigate to Settings > Update & Security > Activation page. Doing so will unlink the Windows 10 license from your Microsoft account. Step 6: Finally, click the Sign out and finish button to sign out of the Microsoft account. If you are selling off the device, not using a password for the account makes sense. If you don’t want to have a password for the account, leave the New password and Confirm password fields empty. Step 5: Enter a name for your local user account, type a password, and then re-enter the password before clicking the Next button. Step 4: Type the PIN that you created earlier for the Microsoft account. Step 3: Clicking on the link will bring up the “Are you sure you want to switch to a local account?” dialog.

Step 2: Click the “ Sign in with a local account instead” link.
