Windows 10: Microsoft account hacked, can windows login be used w/o signing in until Microsoft fixes my...

Hi, a hacker replaced the primary email address on my son's Microsoft account. While we're waiting for Microsoft to change the email back, we thought it would be safer if he could continuing doing work on the local files on his Windows account. Is there a way to convert it to a local-only account ie log out of Microsoft, and reconnect it to the Microsoft account after his account email has been restored?

Yea, I would create a local account and just use your school account to login to Outlook and Onedrive.

Edit:
Here switch between local and microsoft account.
