  1. Changing Accounts on Computer


    How do i change the primary email account to another on my computer? The administrator says its email is under my Childs email address, where i want it to be under my own and remove my Childs Microsoft account from my computer all together. When i look up this online it says go to settings and accounts and then click on the profile and go to remove. However there is no remove button!. I have my account on it which is the second account and when i click on that one it does say remove. What do i do?

    Query about changing the account name

    Hi Stephanie,

    Since you have already changed the name on your Microsoft account, we suggest switching into a local account, and then log back in with your Microsoft account. This way, we can be sure that any changes made to your Microsoft account will be synced to your
    local user account.

    For steps on how to switch to a local account:

    • Click on Start.
    • Click on Settings.
    • Click on Accounts.
    • Under Your account, click on Switch to a local account.

    To switch back to a Microsoft account:

    • Follow steps 1-3 above to get to Accounts.
    • Under Your account, click on Sign in with a Microsoft account instead.

    If the issue persists, please do not hesitate to get back to us.
