    Consolidation of two Microsoft Accounts


    I have over 10 email addresses for various companies that I own. The primary MSFT login that I use is a company that I founded about 5 years ago. It has been the primary account that I use to log into my PC, and all Microsoft applications.


    I have recently sold this company that I use as a primary, but all of my settings are under that profile - both locally on Windows and also on all MSFT apps. I also have a MSFT account associated with my personal email address, so changing the email on the account I've been using to my personal address is not an option.


    I will soon no longer have access to the email associated with the address that contains all of my settings. Curious how I consolidate this profile (both for local PC files and settings as well as MSFT).


    Thanks in advance!

    :)

    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

  3. Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
    I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
    Step 1:
    Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
