    How to change my primary sign in microsoft account on my laptop


    a couple of years ago 2021 i gave a laptop that i wasn't using to my father when his stopped working. I mostly used my Mac at home and the PC's at work when I needed to, so I didn't need it and he did. I set him up a user of the laptop and showed him how to sign in. Occasionally he would forget his password and ask me to give him the code that was sent to my E-mail to reset the password. I figured it was because I was the one who had originally bought and set up the laptop, but no big deal. In the summer of 2023 I got a new laptop and signed in under my normal Microsoft ID and got it all set
