    1. Create a new "local" user. @xapim said it right; unless you are a business traveler you don't really need to link your laptop to MS servers.
    2. After you copy all necessary data from the account you don't want, you can delete it. But keep in mind, MS is notorious for backing data to cloud without your knowledge. Make sure to download it all too (this would be linked to you MS account, if you made an online one, and can be downloaded later too, as long as you don't delete that account).

    Hi so you want to delete the microsoft account from win10 only ? or all software and apps installed
    Ps: i never link windows with my MS account i always use a local user account not online because it makes the system slower as it's always synching your ms apps and stuff like emails etc... i just find it useless for a gaming laptop
