  1. Help me clean up this account mess Windows login


    Hello, I mistakenly signed into Windows with a Microsoft account, and now I can't change my PIN. As you can see from the attached picture, it's a mess. Here's the situation: I have two accounts: one professional and one personal, both using the same email address. I logged into Outlook with two accounts: one for sending/receiving automated emails and my personal account. As a result, both now appear in the Windows login options. I can’t get direct support from Microsoft because every time I try to log in, it recognizes my account as a professional one and asks me to contact my administrator

    :)

    Can't login to new computer w/Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for your reply.


    • Are you able to login to Microsoft Account on Web?

    • Have you installed any language pack?
    I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

    Step 1: I suggest you to select the appropriate language in login screen at the bottom right corner and check if it helps.

    Steps 2: Use On-screen keyboard in the login screen to login and check if it helps.

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

    How would you clean up this mess?
    I hate the right hand side of this system, I wish the GPUs PCIe plugs were on the cards ends and not the top..
    Suggestions?

    Help Removing Microsoft Account login


    I am not sure if you want to switch to a local account instead of your Microsoft account, or if you want to keep your Microsoft account but login automatically instead of having to type the password.
