    Change Local User into MicroSoft Accout (On 3 PC Network Server)


    Win 10 Pro 1803


    Details regarding my desire to change as little as possible:

    Using this PC as server for two other win 10 PCs on home network. All very old, barely able to run win 10, activations from win7, were XP (server), XP and Vista. Activations for none appear linked to Microsoft Account, but so far all have automatically re-Activated and my Microsoft account shows all three PCs. Only one tried will not boot from a recently made win 10 ISO, but so far one able to boot from old win 10 ISO I used to create all three from Win 7. Other two running older ver of Win 10 with homegroup created on server. Homegroup no longer on server, removed from network menus, but still shows when I right click folders to give access to.


    A: I am having uses with sharing (with read/write/edit), sometimes above sever PC allows other on network, sometimes not.


    Sometimes when I access server from other Win 10 PC on home network it allows me to edit server content, sometimes not. Recently it let me save a file from other PC onto this one, then not let me delete it on this on.


    B: Is there anyway to change my existing local user account on my PC to my Microsoft Account user name: In such a way that:


    1. I do not lose any of my files or programs.

    1.a. What I see for Doc, Music, desktop, et now, is what I will see with Microsoft Account login.

    2. I do not change my desktop.

    3. I do not change my privacy setting.

    4. I do not have to re-set up outlook, IE Explorer, Office, et..

    5. It in no way impacts another win 10 PC I am using and signing in with my Microsoft account.


    So just basically taking my existing account in total and changing it (name and log in) into my Microsoft account, with nothing else changing except the user name?


    C: Perhaps having all three PCs with Microsoft account would be good (or is that bad if Microsoft Deletes my account?)


    D: I have also signed in on this PC with my Microsoft Account, it comes up completely different, different folders, different desktop, different edge, different permissions. I do I need to delete this user first?

  2. Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
    I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
    Step 1:
    Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.

  3. Local vs Network user accounts


    I just did a VM install, just to verify that I don't speak total crap.

    Steps I took:


    1. Installed Windows 10 Pro x64 Build 15063.0
    2. Entered the License Key
    3. Created a local account
    4. Went to accounts and added my Microsoft account
    5. Let Windows use this account for all apps
    6. Checked status on Microsoft account web page.
    7. Verified that the VM shows up there
    8. deleted my VM locally
    9. created a new VM installation without entering the License Key (on same VM but totally new Virtual disk)
    10. re-did steps 3-7
    11. verified that my VM is activated.

    And indeed it is activated and I login to my VM using local account which is linked to my MS account. Change Local User into MicroSoft Accout (On 3 PC Network Server) :)

    Should I create a Video of this or do you trust my word on it? Or better yet test it yourself if you have a valid license key you can waste on a VM.

    How to Change Microsoft user account to local user account

    Hi Pchelpmenow,

    At this situation, what I can suggest you is you have to convert the Microsoft user account to local user account.


    • Log to the system using her user account.

    • Go to settings and click on Accounts.

    • Click on Your email and accounts and click on
      Sign-in with a local account instead.

    • Enter the password, click on Next
      and follow the onscreen instruction to convert into local account.
    Hope this helps. Let us know the result for further assistance.

    Thank you.
