  1. How can I Temporarily turn off my PC/ Microsoft Account?


    Hi,I have seen that my Pc is one of the significant distractions I need to minimise as it would take most of my productive time for leisure. So, I am planning to temporarily terminate my PC Microsoft account. As I want my PC on Fridays due to some important work, so I may open it on Fridays, but this would create a mess, as it would take a while to reopen that account and again terminate the services on Saturday. So please suggest to me some tricks or any settings such that my Microsoft Account remains temporarily closed for 6 days a week and continues its service on Fridays without losing a

    Change Microsoft Account Details in Administrator Account


    Hi Daryl, welcome to the Ten Forums.

    It's quite easy in fact, simply switch the account in question first to a local account, then switch back to a Microsoft account, this time using your wife's MS account credentials.

    Tutorials:
    Notice that before doing this you need to remove the new additional MS account on the PC, the one you created with her credentials. Windows allows only one user account for each email address, if the new account exists you cannot switch the original administrator account to an MS account using the same email address.
