    Two Microsoft Accounts


    Hello,

    I am faced with problem deleting one Microsoft account. I don't want to make a mistake that I will be sorry about.


    I have 2 Microsoft accounts:


    #1 - I use to sign to Wndows and Community. It does not have an Administrator privilege. It was before associated with my desktop that I've removed from Microsoft account. I want to keep this account.


    #2 - I use it to sign to Windows. It has an Administrator privilege. It is associated with my laptop. I want to remove this account.

    When I sign to account #2, I have access to all my documents, while signing to account #1 does not show any documents.


    So, my questions are:


    1. How to give the Admin privilege to account #1 before I delete account #2?

    2. How to make sure that my documents will be accessible after I delete account #2?


    All my searches KB did not give me the answer.


    Thank you very much,

    :)

    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

    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.

    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.
