This tutorial will show you how to remove a Windows 10 or Windows 11 device from your Microsoft account.
When you sign in to a Windows 10 or Windows 11 device with your Microsoft account, that device will get added and linked to your Microsoft account.
When you add a device to your Microsoft account, you can access online features for your device from your Microsoft account devices page at Microsoft.
If you no longer use a device or sign in to the device with your Microsoft account, you can remove the device from your Microsoft account devices list to unlink it.
