  1. Consolidate or Update Account


    My old PC died. I bought and set up a new Windows 10 PC using my wife's email account and her cell phone number in order to go through the steps.

    But now I have my own cell phone and my email operating and am trying to change the address and phone number for my account.

    Doing so runs me around in circles without getting it all corrected.

    How can I do this and get it right?

    :)

    Remove account


    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
      Code:
      net user test /del

    Consolidating multiple MS accounts

    Hi, I've seen that there was a conversation on here nearly 4 years ago about consolidating accounts or changing the accounts into a single account. The answer was at that time that it couldn't be done. Can you tell me whether you've managed to sort out
    this problem and if so, how do I consolidate my accounts so that I only have 1 microsoft account (if that's what I choose) which can be used across all of my devices and apps?

    Consolidating multiple MS accounts

    Hi Mike147LL

    Greetings! I am Vijay, an Independent Advisor. No, it is still different Microsoft accounts and you can't consolidate into one Microsoft account, as of now. People have been demanding this since long but due to technical/architectural reasons (in my view),
    this has still not been accomplished.

    But at the same time, many services use Microsoft accounts to drive their services so that you don't require a different account for each service. For example, earlier Skype had its own account but now uses Microsoft account as its driver. This page lists down
    all Microsoft services which use Microsoft account as their driver

    Get started with Microsoft account – Microsoft
