    Change windows administrator rights from a MS account to a MS business account.


    I recently opened a MS business account for small business and are now running Office 365 under this account on a PC that has an old personal MS account as administrator.Assuming that I switched everything to the business account, I have cancelled the personal account.As a consequence, I am not able to log in to my administrator environment on the PC anymore.I would like to switch the administrator rights to the new MS business account, but don't know how.Hope someone can help.Thanks, Giel

    :)

    Change Microsoft Account Details in Administrator Account


    Hi Daryl, welcome to the Ten Forums.

    It's quite easy in fact, simply switch the account in question first to a local account, then switch back to a Microsoft account, this time using your wife's MS account credentials.

    Tutorials:
    Notice that before doing this you need to remove the new additional MS account on the PC, the one you created with her credentials. Windows allows only one user account for each email address, if the new account exists you cannot switch the original administrator account to an MS account using the same email address.

    Window 10 Auto-Logon (Hotmail/MS Account)

    Hello everyone!

    So, i've updated my PC to Windows 10 and i have a little problem.

    Anyone knows how to auto-logon without asking for password using Hotmail/MS Account? I i've already tried the trick using "netplwiz" from Windows 8 wich always worked totally, and in Win10 it just does not work, it keeps asking me for password...

    Anyone knows how to bypass this without having to create a local account?

    Cheers.
