  1. How do I change the accounts associated on a new computer?


    I purchased 2 new HP Windows 11 computers. I had to use my Microsoft sign in to get her computer setup as she does not have her own account. The computer is in her name but everything else is in my name. How do I make it her computer so when she selects calendar or email it does not open my email or calendar or other account information? I want any and all information, email programs, calendar etc. to be directed in her name and not mine! I do not want to do a reinstall either.

  2. How to change the administrator account associated email

    David, if the option is not present to change to a local account which is shown in the tutorial, then the alternative is to create a new local account and not a Microsoft account. Sign in into it, copy over your files and then delete the old account in
    Family and other users.

    At any time in the future you can associate that new local account with your old Microsoft account or create a new Microsoft account to associate the local account with following the steps in the other tutorial I gave.
