Windows 10: How to change Nearby Share account on Windows 11?

While setting up nearby share on windows 11, I couldn't change the account & it chose my school's account. Not finding anyway to change in the setup, I rolled with it thinking I would be able to change it afterwards. Unfortunately, I don't see anyway to change account used for nearby share. Which makes it unusable without my primary account. Does anyone know how to change nearby share account?

If Nearby Sharing isn't going to work then set up and use WIndows file sharing on network:
