Как удалить учётную запись Майкрософт в Windows 11

Если вы установили Windows 11 с учётной записью Майкрософт, но хотели бы использовать её с локальной (автономной учётной записью), это сравнительно легко сделать, используя Параметры системы и некоторые дополнительные способы.

Удаление учётной записи Майкрософт в Параметрах

Основной способ удалить учётную запись Майкрософт, а точнее изменить её на локальный аккаунт — использовать соответствующие Параметры Windows 11. Потребуется выполнить следующие шаги:

  1. Откройте «Параметры» (можно нажать клавиши Win+I), перейдите в раздел «Учётные записи» и откройте пункт «Ваши данные».
  2. В разделе «Параметры учетной записи» нажмите «Войти вместо этого с локальной учетной записью».
  3. Подтвердите переключение на локальную учетную запись, нажав «Далее».
  4. Введите ПИН-код или пароль для подтверждения.
  5. Введите имя пользователя и пароль (не обязательно) — они могут совпадать с теми, что у вас были при использовании учётной записи Майкрософт. Необходимость ввода обусловлена тем, что теперь эти данные будут храниться локально. Нажмите «Далее».
  6. Нажмите «Выйти из системы и закончить».

После выполнения последнего шага будет осуществлено переключение учетной записи в локальную и выход из Windows 11.

Сразу после этого вы сможете снова зайти, уже под тем именем пользователя и паролем, которые задали на 5-м шаге, при этом все ваши данные, которые были в учётной записи Майкрософт, будут сохранены в этом локальном аккаунте, можно пользоваться.

Обратите внимание: использование учётной записи Майкрософт может продолжиться в таких программах как OneDrive, Microsoft Store или других. При необходимости выйдите из них. Также зайдите в Параметры — Учетные записи — Электронная почта и учетные записи и посмотрите раздел «Учетные записи, используемые другими приложениями», где вероятнее всего будет отображаться ваша учетная запись Майкрософт, которую можно будет удалить.

Создание локальной учётной записи, перенос данных и удаление учётной записи Майкрософт

Ещё один метод — создать новую локальную учётную запись, дать ей права Администратора, зайти в эту учетную запись, перенести все необходимые данные и удалить ранее использовавшуюся учётную запись Майкрософт.

Чтобы выполнить необходимые действия потребуется:

    Запустить командную строку от имени администратора и по порядку ввести две команды (заменив имя пользователя и пароль на нужные данные для нового пользователя, если имя пользователя содержит пробелы, возьмите имя в кавычки):

net user имя_пользователя пароль /add net localgroup Администраторы имя_пользователя /add

С использованием Live CD

Многие Live CD на базе Win PE для восстановления работоспособности Windows и других задач содержат утилиты для сброса паролей. Одна из самых популярных — Windows Login Unlocker, присутствующая на WinPE 10-8 Sergei Strelec.

Add or remove accounts on your PC

This article describes how to add or remove accounts on your PC. Having different accounts on a shared PC lets multiple people use the same device, all while giving everyone their own sign-in info, plus access to their own files, browser favorites, and desktop settings.

In addition, if you use the same PC for personal projects and work or school, you may want to add different accounts to your PC.

Note: If you have a new device, you may see an account named “defaultuser0″—this account is inactive and it won’t hurt your device or give anyone else access. If you want to remove it, you can restart your device and then sign in again.

Is the option to remove a Microsoft account missing or greyed out? Learn how to remove it anyway (forcefully) on Windows 11.

In Short.
To remove a Microsoft Account from Windows 11, you first need to create a Local Account with administrative privileges. Then, sign in with the Local Account and go to Settings > Accounts, select ‘Other users’, choose the Microsoft account you want to remove, and click on ‘Remove’ next to ‘Account and data’ label.

Many of us while initially setting up Windows 11 have linked a Microsoft account. For some, it was a necessity since Windows 11 Home requires you to sign in with a Microsoft Account, others may have done it out of choice. But down the line, many want to remove the Microsoft account due to various reasons, some of which can be justified.

However, we do recommend using a Microsoft account due to the additional features such as OneDrive, Microsoft Store and availability of sync service. All these features come in handy in the long run. But, if you have made up your mind and want to remove the Microsft account from Windows 11, here’s how you do it.

Create a Local Account on Windows 11

You cannot remove a Microsoft account while being signed in. Therefore, the first step is to create a Local Account.

To create a Local Account, search for ‘Settings’ in the Start Menu, and click on the relevant search result to launch the app. Alternatively, you can use the WINDOWS + I keyboard shortcut to directly launch the Settings app.

In Settings, select the ‘Accounts’ tab from the left.

In the ‘Account’ settings, select the ‘Family & other users’ or ‘Other users’ option listed on the right.

Now, click on the ‘Add account’ option next to ‘Add other user’ under the ‘Other users’ setting.

The ‘Microsoft account’ window will now launch where you can create a new ‘Local Account’. On the initial window, select ‘I don’t have this person’s sign-in information’.

Next, select ‘Add a user without a Microsoft account’.

You will be now be required to enter the user name and password in the relevant sections. Once you have filled out the required sections, click on ‘Next’ at the bottom to create a Local Account.

Note: When creating a local account, you have the option to either continue with or without a password. If you don’t want a password protected Local Account, leave the password section blank and click on ‘Next’.

The Local Account has now been created, however, it’s presently a ‘Standard Account’. The next step would be to allow it administrative privileges.

To change the account type to Administrator, click on the account name listed under ‘Other users’ in settings.

Now, click on the ‘Change account type’ option next to ‘Account options’.

In the ‘Change account type’ window, click on the drop-down menu under ‘Account type’.

Now, select ‘Administrator’ from the list of options and click on ‘OK’ at the bottom to save the changes.

You now have a Local Account set up on Windows 11 with administrative privileges. You can now proceed to remove the Microsoft Account.

Removing Microsoft Account on Windows 11

There are three ways you can remove a Microsoft Account on Windows 11. We will walk you through each of them, choose the one you are comfortable with.

Before we move forward, sign in with the Local Account that we created earlier since you cannot remove a Microsoft Account while being signed into it.

Note: When you remove a Microsoft account, all the data on the account would be removed. We recommend you create a backup in case you have important files saved and don’t want to lose them.

Remove Microsoft Account Via Settings

To remove Microsoft Account via Settings, search for it in the ‘Start Menu’, and launch the app.

Next, select the ‘Account’ tab from the left.

Now, click on the ‘Family & other users’ or ‘Other user’ option on the right.

Now, locate and click on the Microsoft account that you want to remove under ‘Other users’.

Next, click on ‘Remove’ next to ‘Account and data’.

Finally, click on ‘Delete account and data’ in the confirmation box to proceed.

The selected Microsoft Account will now be removed.

Remove Microsoft Account via User Accounts Panel

To remove a Microsoft account via the User Accounts panel, press WINDOWS + R to launch the ‘Run Command’, enter ‘netplzwiz’ in the text box and then either click on ‘OK’ at the bottom or press ENTER .

In the ‘User Accounts’ panel, all the accounts on the system will be listed. Select the Microsoft account that you want to remove from the list and click on the ‘Remove’ option.

Finally, click ‘Yes’ in the box that pops up to confirm the change.

Remove Microsoft Account Via Control Panel

You can also remove a Microsoft account from Windows 11 with the Control Panel.

To remove a Microsoft account via Control Panel, search for ‘Control Panel’ in the Start Menu and click on the relevant search result to launch the app.

In the Control Panel, you will find a lot of options, click on ‘User Accounts’.

Next, click on ‘Remove user accounts’ under ‘User Accounts’.

Now, all the users accounts on the system will be listed here. Select the Microsoft account that you want to remove.

Now, click on the ‘Delete the account’ option.

You will now be provided with two options pertaining to files, either to delete the files along with the user account to keep the files. However, Windows will only keep a certain section of the files, and not all the data stored on that particular user account. Select the desired option to proceed.

Note: If you select the ‘Keep Files’ option, you can always delete them from the system in the future, if required.

The Microsoft account will now be removed from the system.

If you always had the idea of using your PC as an isolated device, removing the Microsoft account would get you one step closer to that. Also, not that you know all the ways, choose the one you deem most suitable and remove the Microsoft account from Windows 11 on your system.
