How do I remove a Windows 10 PC from a work domain please, so that it is standalone?
What is the impact of this?
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
When you remove it from a Domain, it will become a workgroup computer with a local account.
To leave the Domain, sign into your Local Account, click Start > Settings > System > About and then select Disconnect from the organization.
If that option is not available, click Start > Settings > Accounts > Access work or school > Select your account then click Disconnect.

Can't say about Impact-Just as you said, it would be a standalone PC on which the GPOs applied by the domain controller would not apply.
