I have my pc as an added device in my Microsoft not for profit account. I would like to remove it but the only available option is to disable it. How can I remove my device, without having it disabled?

    Hello

    Are you the admin user for this Nonprofit account?

    As a user, you cannot remove it. Like you saw, disabling it is the ONLY option.

    Only the organization admin can delete the device from the organization account.

    If your admin needs instruction, they can follow this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/managed-desktop/operate/remove-devices

    To remove a Windows device from management in a Microsoft account, you typically need to follow these steps:

    1. Open the Settings app on your PC.
    2. Navigate to Accounts > Access work or school.
    3. Select the connected account that you want to remove and click on Disconnect.
    4. Confirm the removal by selecting Yes.

    If you are unable to remove the device and only see the option to disable it, you may need to check if there are any restrictions set by your organization or account type. Additionally, you can also try removing the device via the Company Portal website:

    1. Sign in to the Company Portal website with your work or school account.
    2. Go to Devices and select the device you want to remove.
    3. Choose Remove and confirm the action.

    Please note that removing the device will result in losing access to work or school resources associated with that account.
