Windows 10: Changing user email address

I set up a new laptop a year ago for my son using my Gmail account associated with Microsoft.I have just bought a new laptop for myself and set it up using the same Gmail address. I now have his favourited websites and school projects on my laptop. Am I able to set up another Microsoft account with a different email address on his laptop? And if I can do this, will all his stuff still be on his laptop?

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
