Hello everyone,
Following my departure from the company, I would like to format a Dell PC for personal use as it has been configured to connect to the company's domain.
In other words, after my departure, if my access to the domain is removed, I will no longer be able to log in to the session. The IT manager doesn't have time to do this for me...
Thanking you in advance for your help and guidance, I send you my best regards.

    Hello,

    on another working PC you need to create a USB drive containing Windows 10:

    After this step on the powered-off Dell computer, insert the USB drive, turn it on and at startup press F12 to access the boot menu. The key may vary depending on the model.

    After the installation, you will need to purchase a Windows 10 license corresponding to the version of Windows you installed.

    If my answer satisfies you, a simple click on "+1"!! will suit me just fine :-)
    Best regards, Foxyfox51

      The problem with business PCs is that even after a complete formatting or reset, Windows 10 logs back into the business account. The device must be removed from the corporate Microsoft account by the administrator.

      Install Linux :-) or remove the motherboard battery for 30 seconds (coin-sized) and it should work.

        Hello,

        Of course not, there are no ghosts: such a situation could only occur if one commits Hara-Kiri while reconnecting to the same Microsoft account, the one belonging to the company.

      C_Clara to bypass the step of logging into the company's Windows account when you reinstall Windows, you actually need to click on the "I don't have internet" tab at the internet connection step. This way, you will create a local account. Once the process is complete and you are on the desktop, you can then log into your personal account from the settings without any problems.
