Windows 10: login

Hello Tech Support,


I have a desktop with windows 10 home and recently when I bought a new laptop windows 10 pre-installed accidentally or in a flow, you can say, I logged in with the same Microsoft account used to set up the desktop, although the laptop I bought is for business use for which I have a different Microsoft account. How to rectify this? I want to login with my business Microsoft account when I use the laptop and personal Microsoft account when I log in to the desktop. how to solve this? Should I just remove the laptop from my personal Microsoft account's device section? how the laptop windows will react in this situation when I will log in to the laptop next time?

:)
