Windows 10: How do I remove the email associated with a local admin account in Windows 11 while keeping...

We checked my son's email in edge, and now his email is the admin email for the computer. There does not appear to be an option to change this. I just want the local account back. The login is still local, but his email is the admin email, now.I don't want to have to reinstall everything or add accounts and change their security level or change to Windows Hello or move all my files to a new admin account. I did not choose to associate the email with the account. I did not buy a Mac. I bought a Windows machine, on purpose, so I could have options.

Windows 10 - Wrong Microsoft Account linked to local admin account - no Sign in with local account instead link available

Thanks for the response. What I suggest you do is to switch to a local account and then switch back to your Microsoft account.

Here's how:

• Sign in using the Microsoft account.
• Go to Settings.
• Click Accounts.
• Under Your email and accounts, click Sign in with a local account instead.
• Type the password of the Microsoft account and click Next.
• Under Switch to a local account, click Next.
• Click Sign out and finish.

Once you're done switching to a local account, you can now set your new Microsoft account to associate on your Windows 10 computer. Make sure to type in the correct email address you want to associate to your PC. Follow the steps provided above and click
Sign in with a Microsoft account instead to set up your new account.

Should you have further questions, let me know.
