    How can I add two Microsoft accounts in one user?


    I recently bought a new PC and was wondering if there was a way to separate my personal Microsoft account and my university account? My entire user the admin is tied to my personal account, even my Office applications. Is there a way I can add my university email as a secondary account in Outlook and Office? Or is the only solution to create a separate account for it?Also: if you have any comprehensive beginner guides, do share! I've been using Mac my entire life lol ... shortcuts, hacks, tips, etc. are appreciated! Thanks!

    :)

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.

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

    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.

    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.

    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.

    How can I add two Microsoft accounts in one user?

    Local Acct user and MS account user - sync them or merge them

    If the local account is the one where you have most of your personal data, this is how I would do it:

    • Sign in to your Microsoft account
    • Copy all documents, pictures and other personal data from Microsoft account's user folders to corresponding folders in user Public (contents of MS account Documents folder to Public Documents folder and so on)
    • Sign out from Microsoft account
    Notice that above steps are only required if Microsoft account user folders contain data you want to keep. If its user folders are empty or do not contain anything worth saving, you can skip the above steps. Continue from below.

    • Sign in to the local account
    • Delete the Microsoft account (Option One in this tutorial)
    • Switch your local account to a Microsoft account (tutorial)
    • Copy the data backed up from old Microsoft account to Public folders to new Microsoft account in corresponding folders

    That's it. Using the Public folders as temporary storage you will have none whatsoever file owner / permission issues later on.
