How can I remove Microsoft Login?

I recently switched to using a new company MacBook. Up until then, I have purchased my own Macs. I am techno impaired, somewhat, but, understandably, the company Mac has a series of Microsoft login requirements just to get to the desktop. It is NOT user friendly. Yesterday I spent three hours trying to get on.

But I digress...

I am purchasing my own MacBook. I will do Migration Assistance as I always have when getting a new Mac. However, in the middle of the night, it dawned on me that in doing that, I will be transferring the Microsoft login protection. Is there anyway I can do this without that? I use OfficeMac 365. Of course, I want to keep 365.

Or...is this something I need to ask the Microsoft Community. I fear lots of flaming for not loving all things Microsoft.

Tim, apologies for taking so long to respond! Here's the deal. I work for a mission organization and they have their own IT. We all took the holiday season off and I am now awaiting a response. Been with this agency for 40 years and trust them explicitly. They say they have a solution to get rid of Jamf, for something like that. It's a nightmare. I will wait for their response, hopefully by next week. I will give an update as soon as I here.

As a follow up. My organization allowed me to return the MacBook. I then used Migration Assistant on my "old" MacBook 11 and it worked seamlessly, no loss of data. Thank you for the heads up. Life is now good. (-:

Do NOT migrate from your company owned Mac to your personal Mac. it's undoubtedly joined to the company Azure domain.

Using 365 is one thing, joining your Mac to the company Azure domain is something else entirely. That would give the company control over your personal Mac.
