Hi.
I think what you need to do, is first convert your MS account to a local account. Then you can switch your local account to a newly created MS account.

Local Account - Switch to in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

Microsoft Account - Switch to in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

Hope that helps!

 

I think in order to do that, though, the user has to enter the Microsoft account password which the OP doesn't remember.

 

Oops! If that's the case and you can't use the PIN, I am out of ideas.

 

I think the only option is going to be to create a new user account, change account type to administrator, and copy the old user data files to it. Then as administrator on the new account, should be able to delete the old user account on the computer.

 

I completely agree. The only other option would be to reset the password for the original MS account which takes 30 days.

Yes, okay, but he wouldn't be able to migrate any OneDrive data.

 

But he / she would have access to it and be able to download it by signing in to Windows with the PIN he / she remembers...
