  1. How can I fix my PC defaulting to work account rather than personal account?


    I have a personal Office 365 but I also work for a few different companies who also use Office 365. I work on my own PC and my own laptop, as the sole administrator and user.I sign in and out of my remote workspace accounts all day when accessing OneDrive files or web-based programs, Teams, etc. My problem is that my desktop that shows when I log in, and my default saves, dowloads etc are all going to one of my work accounts' OneDrive, not my personal one. When I look to see what account my PC is using, it LOOKS like it's my personal account, but then everything I do for all three companie

    He wants to configure a outlook account with 1 email, with that outlook account he wants to run the same account in 2 diferent computers he wants the both computer to be connected in network, for example:



    • he receives a email and that email is sent to each computer;
