Windows 10: Changing Associated Account

I've inadvertently associated my new laptop with my shared Microsoft account instead of my personal account. How do I change it so when it logs in, it's associated with the correct account, and thus associated with the correct 365 and OneDrive accounts?Thanks.

David, if the option is not present to change to a local account which is shown in the tutorial, then the alternative is to create a new local account and not a Microsoft account. Sign in into it, copy over your files and then delete the old account in
Family and other users.

At any time in the future you can associate that new local account with your old Microsoft account or create a new Microsoft account to associate the local account with following the steps in the other tutorial I gave.
