    Changing primary accounts


    Hi,my father gave me the laptop I'm currently using as a gift several years ago, I never got around to swapping main accounts as i could just log in as my email, steam, and so on as myself with no issue. However recently I've been trying to add apps to my device via the Microsoft store and since my father's account is the primary and I am no longer in contact with him, I am unable to access the store on my own account.Is there a solution where I can put the device under my own profile?

    :)
