  1. Change email address associated with Windows 10 user


    Hi


    I created an Windows 10 account standard for my daughter a few years ago but used my email.

    She now has her own email account hotmail so I tried to add it on her Windows 10 account but could not do it. Her new email has the parental controls to limit screen time reason I am trying to link it to her existing Windows user.


    Will appreciate some guidance here.

    :)

  2. How to change email address associated with a local user account

    I have two local user accounts on my Windows 10 workstation, let's call them 'A' and 'B'. Each of these user accounts have valid separate Microsoft online accounts, let's call them 'X' and 'Y' respectively, however these Microsoft accounts were deliberately
    not used or associated with the local accounts during their creation.

    User 'A' has the primary email account 'X' associated with it, as displayed in 'Your Info'. User 'B' was also (incorrectly and unintentionally) updated so it is now also associated with the primary email account 'X'. Therefore, now both local user accounts
    are trying to connect to Microsoft account 'X' to sync, which is obviously not desired.

    What I am wanting to do is to change the email address associated with the local user account 'B' to use email address 'Y' instead of 'X', without having to delete and recreate the local user account.
    I can't add an alias or any other convoluted solution to the Microsoft online accounts as both X & Y accounts are still valid are meant to be separate so making changes to the respective accounts online doesn't make any sense. I can add email account
    'Y' to the list in "Accounts used by other apps" but cannot remove account 'X' from the list. I also can find no way to change the email address in the 'sync your settings' options.

    For some strange reason there appears to be no logical way to do this. I have tried a few changes in the registry, however, they did not persist so I am guessing the changes are required elsewhere.
    What am I missing, because I expected this to be a reasonably simple problem to resolve?

    Thank you in advance for any assistance.

    How to change Windows 10 administrator email address

    I have have a new email address which I use to log into my Microsoft account. However, the old email address (which no longer works) is still associated with the administrator account on my PC. I am the only user and have no other accounts on the device.

    How can I change the old administrator email address to the new one?

    There are numerous posts on the MS community on this problem but none actually state what to do. I need a step-by-step instruction sheet Change email address associated with Windows 10 user :)

    Can anyone help?
