Windows 10: Change windows 10 log in email address but keep desktop and files as is.

I want to stop using the Microsoft email address I am using to log into windows 10 while keeping the desktop and file access that I currently have when logging in with another email address.. I do have another email address I want to use however when I log in with the new email address, the desktop and file access are different. They are both setup as admin accounts. I have all my app shortcuts and file I use on my desktop and don't want to use that.

Change Windows 10 desktop log in

I need to change my Windows 10 desktop log in. The existing log in is a microsoft account such as *** Email address is removed for privacy *** which I don't want and would like to get off my computer. My ISP is going to delete the *** Email address is removed for privacy *** email address.

Does the new log in need to be an email address and does it need to be associated with a microsoft account?

I am the only user of this desktop computer, so do I even need a log in of any sort at all?

How do I change the log in from *** Email address is removed for privacy *** to something else or to nothing at all?

 

old email addresses

Thank you for updating me HA.111

Here is the step to remove that old email address.

Start typing an email address into the “To” field. As soon as you see the old email address being recommended as one of the potential candidates, use the down arrow key to scroll through the list of suggestions. Once you highlight the old email address, type the delete key. In many cases, this will actually remove the entry not only from the current list of suggestions but from future suggestions as well. You may even find that as you mouse over the drop-down list the highlighted item will have an “x” to explicitly allow you to delete it.

Just do this step and your good to go.

Continue to have an escellent day HA.111
