I got a new Lenovo Legion laptop as a gift, but I made a mistake when setting it up. I entered the wrong email for the main account and chose to verify later. The problem is, I don't have access to that email and can't remove it from the laptop because I need to verify it first. I've already contacted Lenovo, and they told me to reach out to Microsoft to get help removing the email.
Hey there, sounds like you’re having trouble removing an unwanted email account from your new Lenovo Legion laptop running Windows 11. I get it, we’ve all been there!
Here’s the deal: you actually need to follow a pretty straightforward process to get rid of that account. Here’s what you gotta do:
Remove Email Account from Windows 11
-
Get to the Settings:
- Open the Start menu and click on the gear icon for Settings.
- Alternatively, right-click on the Start button and click on Settings.
-
Navigate to Accounts:
- In the Settings window, click on Accounts from the left panel.
-
Access Email & Accounts:
- In the Accounts window, click on Email & accounts.
-
Select the Account to Remove:
- You’ll see a list of accounts. Click on the email account you want to remove.
- You might need to expand the list by clicking the arrow.
-
Manage and Delete:
- Once you’ve selected the account, click on Manage.
- Then, click on Delete account from this device.
That’s it She’s gone You should no longer see the email account. If you’re still having trouble, like the other users who added accounts incorrectly or without access to the email, just follow these steps and you should be golden.
Hope this helps, and enjoy your new laptop
