Windows 10: How do I switch my login email without logging in?

My step brother recently gave me his pc. When I try to login, it shows his sign in with no way to select another one. I've tried restarting the computer twice, and that hasn't done anything.

Hello,



Thank you for reaching us on the forum with your concern.



As per the issue description you have two email id's and you want to change your secondary email to primary on your pc.



I would suggest you to switch the login account to Local user account. Then switch back to Microsoft account which you want to use. You may follow the steps provided below:



Step 1: Switch to local user account

Follow these steps to create a “Local User account”.

• Press “Windows key +W”.
• Type “users” without quotes in the search box.
• Then select “Users” from the left panel.
• You will get an option “Switch to a Local account” right below your user account name.
• Select “Switch to a local account” option.
• Enter the required details.
• Then login to the local account and check how it works.

Step 2: Switch back to Microsoft account

Follow these steps to create a “Microsoft account”.

• Press “Windows key +W”.
• Type “users” without quotes in the search box.
• Then select “Users” from the left panel.
• Select “Switch to Microsoft account” right below your user account name.
• Enter the required details (Primary Email ID).
• Restart the computer and then try to login using new Primary account.

Hope this would help. If issue still persists post back with current status of your computer and result of proposed suggestion, we will be happy to assist you.



Regards,

Login and microsoft email

It asks for a microsoft account and i created one with a gmail that isnt mine (misspelled).

I created another microsoft account with another gmail, and it switched to that email, but then when i tried to log in into microsoft from the browser it told me they cannot acess this account and they suggested me to change the email, which i did. so the profile i have on my pc has the old email listed but i did change this email for that same micorsoft profile.

sorry i say user but its actually another microsoft acccount
