If you’re using a Microsoft account on an old laptop, there are a few steps you can take to remove it. First, make sure the laptop is turned off and unplugged. Then, open the computer’s BIOS and set the password for your Microsoft account. Next, open the Start menu and type “cmd” (without the quotes) and hit enter. Type “netstat -a” and hit enter again. If there’s a line like this in the output: [14:01:10] [NETSTAT] [14:01:10] * 0 packets transmitted, 0 received, 0 dropped, 0 overruns (0% packet loss), 5 minutes elapsed then your Microsoft account is not active on that laptop anymore.
