  1. Business to personal account


    Need to find out how to get into computer. Boss gave work computer to me and then took down my business email and I can't get into my computer because it now says I can not add a personal email to a business account. Can't get past the pin code, it will not take the one I have been using for years. How do I get the business account off and use my personal to sign in. Do I have to uninstall Microsoft 365 and reinstall personal and how to I change the pin so I can get into the emails to delete the business email so that only the personal email remains



    [Moved from Account, billing and sign-in / Windows 10 / Microsoft 365 Apps or Office 365 Business]

    Separating personal and business accounts in windows 10

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



    I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

    I suggest you to create a new Microsoft Account For personal use follow the steps below and check if it helps. Another account which you’re using now you can use it for business i.e. (old Microsoft account)



    • Go to the
      Microsoft account sign-up page
      and tap or click
      Create account.

    • In the User name box enter your existing email address, or tap or click
      Get a new email address to create an Outlook or Hotmail address.

    • Fill out the rest of the form, then tap or click
      Create account.



    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

    Remove account

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    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:

  4. Business to personal account

    Changing a personal Microsoft account to business account

    Hi Prakhar,

    Thanks but already stated been down the no alias track ... and all want, is to have my current business email as main 'everything'

    Find strange (especially in 2019 cant just transfer over from personal to business)

    So is only option is delete personal account and set up one for business?

    But worried with come into issues as Office365 Business premium and domains are set up with personal MS account email plus all stuff on Microsoft. Cant even sign into Edge Chromium browser as doesn't accept business email but could sign into Book 2 when
    set up so go figure. Have also have Office 365 Business premium without MS business account and Skype business and OneDrive business with personal account without any red flags (rather strange in itself)

    Does anybody know if can contact MS (but without going through that convoluted stupid virtual assistant) and know if they can change everything over from personal? (Best Number if possible)
