  2. Email

    Hello,



    Thank you for reaching us on the forum with your concern.



    As per the issue description you have two email id's and you want to change your secondary email to primary on your pc.



    I would suggest you to switch the login account to Local user account. Then switch back to Microsoft account which you want to use. You may follow the steps provided below:



    Step 1: Switch to local user account

    Follow these steps to create a “Local User account”.

    • Press “Windows key +W”.
    • Type “users” without quotes in the search box.
    • Then select “Users” from the left panel.
    • You will get an option “Switch to a Local account” right below your user account name.
    • Select “Switch to a local account” option.
    • Enter the required details.
    • Then login to the local account and check how it works.


    Step 2: Switch back to Microsoft account

    Follow these steps to create a “Microsoft account”.

    • Press “Windows key +W”.
    • Type “users” without quotes in the search box.
    • Then select “Users” from the left panel.
    • Select “Switch to Microsoft account” right below your user account name.
    • Enter the required details (Primary Email ID).
    • Restart the computer and then try to login using new Primary account.


    Hope this would help. If issue still persists post back with current status of your computer and result of proposed suggestion, we will be happy to assist you.

  3. Transferring SQL Client Access Licenses from primary server to secondary server.

    1. If we go with SQL Server + CAL base licensing . can we transfer SQL CALs from my primary server to secondary when my primary server fails or down ?
    2. If we go for SQL Server + CAL base licensing what all SQL CAL licenses need to be installed(need to buy) on primary and Secondary server. ?
    3. If we go for SQL Server Core Base licensing what all SQL licenses need to be installed(need to buy) on primary and Secondary server ?
    4. can we use SQL core base license as a primary and SQL CAL base license as secondary or vice versa ?

    ***Modified title from: SQL primary and secondary server***

  4. email used to be primary and secondary

    Change sender name using Windows 10 mail app

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    We understand your concern as you would like to change the name of the sender in the Email using mail app. In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply
    with the answers to the questions below.



    • What is the Windows 10 Version and Build installed? (Type
      winver in Windows search/Run command)

    • What is the Mail app Version installed?

    • Do you see the primary email account holder name on the email, sent using the secondary email account?

    • Does the email recipient also sees the primary email account holder’s name, instead of the actual sender?



    In this scenario, we would suggest you to perform these steps and make the changes.

    1. Open
      Mail app and click on the
      Gear icon at the bottom left.

    2. Now click on
      Manage accounts under
      Settings.

    3. Select any one secondary Email account from the list.

    4. Click on
      Change mailbox sync settings.

    5. Change the name under
      Send your messages using this name to the correct account holder.

    6. Repeat the same steps for all the email account holder other than the Primary account holder.
