  1. Help unlinking windows from an unknown Microsoft account


    Hello!A couple years ago, my girlfriend bought a new notebook from Amazon that was supposed to come with windows 10. Turned out the OS was linked to a Microsoft account that wasn't her's. Wasn't a problem then, as it still worked.Now I bought her a SSD for Christmas computer is very slow, but I don't think I'll be able to activate windows if it's still linked to that account. Is there a way to unlink them while not having the password to this other account, so that I can link the key to her account?Thanks!

    :)
