Windows 10: Does changing a Laptop's Microsoft Account, also change everything Windows?

I should rephrase the question better.
Just for context, I have a Lenovo Ideapad 5 Laptop, with installed Windows 10 Home 64-Bit Version.
When I first set up the Laptop, I used my phone number, which promptly used my Alt Microsoft Account, because that alt was connected to my Phone Number.

I have been using this Laptop for about 5 months now, and I installed many things like games, files, wallpapers, and just general changes to my Laptop that fit my needs. However, I find it a nuisance in the Long Term, so I want to change my Laptop's Default Microsoft Account to my main one, which I recently created. Does changing my laptop's Microsoft account change anything like Windows 10 Settings or my Downloaded Files?

For extra information, I have 2 Accounts saved on my Laptop. My Alt, ([testineedhelpinmylifepls@gmail.com](mailto:testineedhelpinmylifepls@gmail.com); don't mind the name lol I created it a few years back as a joke) is the administrator account on this Laptop, and is the one I want to change. My other account, is also a alt account but much more used. I have not added my Main account to my laptop yet, but I wish to do so and also make it the Administrator Account.

An Additional Question (assuming my first question was solved), how to I properly control what goes into my Windows 10 Gmail Bar (the side bar in Windows that shows me notifications)? I usually get random mails from Twitter and some random company emails I signed up for. I do not know which Gmail or Microsoft account it is fetching my notifications from, but I don't worry about that. I just want to find a way to delete and update certain companies/websites and whether I get mails from them or not. For example, I get constant useless notifications/mails from a website called MyPointsBonusMail, which I only remember using once, and don't even have a saved account in their website archive. I want to go to wherever settings it is, to stop windows from sending me mails from that website. I can't pause it myself since 1) I do not know where the settings to do so are, and 2) I do not have a registered account in MyPointsBonusMail.

Thanks in Advance!
