Hey so I gave my mum my old laptop (windows 8) a few years ago, and have just bought a new one (Windows 10) that I want to set up without affecting the old one

 

My mum has been using my old laptop with my Microsoft account for a few years now as her only login so she has lots of stuff on the computer, how can I let her keep access to all that stuff and settings whilst deactivating the Microsoft account/switching to a local account.

 

Preferably I don't want to have to back up and restore the old laptop as she had a stroke recently, and has difficulty with technical instructions

 

Thanks folks!
