I am new to Linux staff and made a dual boot on my computer (with win 10). Now I can't get into the Windows as I just forgot the password. How can i use MX to remove or reset the password? is that possible?

Follow this link for instructions on how to reset your password using Win 10.

However, if it was me, I'd take it as a sign from above and use a linux disk to lift my data from the win 10 partition and paste it in the linux partition. Then format the Win 10 partition (s) as ext4 for future use as storage.
HP 15; ryzen 3 5300U APU; 500 Gb SSD; 8GB ram
Aspire V5-571; CPU Intel I3; 500 GB SSD; Intel 2nd Gen Graphics; 8 GB Ram
Aspire XC-866; i3-9100; UHD 630; 8 GB ram; 1TB HDD

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

My wife has a Win 7 machine. I managed to avoid the "free" upgrade to 10.

With all the privacy invasion of 10, I would never touch that steaming pile.
When 7 reaches EOL in 2020, I ( really my wife) will have to decide what to do with her machine.

I recommend converting to Linux, but she is not (yet) convinced.

Never used win 10. I have win 7 in a VM in MX-16, used only to update gadgets requiring a Windows OS to update software.
