    Create a business account that has nothing to do with personal account


    Hi Microsoft people I have a new computer for work that I would like to set up for my business and keep entirely separate from personal Microsoft accounts.When I attempt to setup a new Microsoft account it continually sends me to my personal account.How do I tell Microsoft this is for a separate legal entity for business and not liked to my personal account and devices

    :)

    Personal and Business Account on Same Desktop

    Hi DaveM121,

    OK, I created a new account without an email address. Now I have a business account, a Microsoft account and a new account with no email address. When I'm in the business account, I still can't switch user to any of the two other accounts. Am I missing a step? To be clear, what I'm trying to achieve is having a business account and a Microsoft account (personal) and I'd like to be able to switch between these 2 accounts. Any other suggestions? Tx

  3. Changing Microsoft personal account to business account

    A number of years ago I thought I created a Microsoft account for my business but it is listed a personal account. Every time I set up a new computer I consider creating a new business account but I want to access my subscriptions so I continue to use this account. I have since come to understand that the business account is better suited for my business (security, etc.) Can I switch this existing account account to a business account?

    Create a business account that has nothing to do with personal account

    Separating personal and business accounts in windows 10

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



    I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

    I suggest you to create a new Microsoft Account For personal use follow the steps below and check if it helps. Another account which you’re using now you can use it for business i.e. (old Microsoft account)



    • Go to the
      Microsoft account sign-up page
      and tap or click
      Create account.

    • In the User name box enter your existing email address, or tap or click
      Get a new email address to create an Outlook or Hotmail address.

    • Fill out the rest of the form, then tap or click
      Create account.



    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.
