    Change sync account


    My desktop and Surface Pro do not show the same account in the sync settings. The Surface Pro shows my personal Microsoft account but my desktop (which I brought from work) shows my work account. How do I change the desktop to my personal MS account so it will sync my Edge favorites with my Surface Pro?

    :)

  2. 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.
