    How to combine 2 microsoft accounts into 1 account. I am using 2 email addresses


    Because Microsoft could not accept my phone number, I was force to create a second account to access Windows 11 Home. I would like to delete one of the accounts. Because I can't get access to the original account I can't doing to it. How can I combine the second account into the first account?

    :)

    2 Microsoft Email addresses 1 Microsoft account.

    I have 2 Microsoft email addresses tied to the same Microsoft account. When I check my email, it shows me emails for the entire Microsoft account. How do I set it so I only see emails for the single email address that I want to view.

    Unauthorized Emails from my account?

    It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

    Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.

    Change Microsoft Account Details in Administrator Account


    Hi Daryl, welcome to the Ten Forums.

    It's quite easy in fact, simply switch the account in question first to a local account, then switch back to a Microsoft account, this time using your wife's MS account credentials.

    Tutorials:
    Notice that before doing this you need to remove the new additional MS account on the PC, the one you created with her credentials. Windows allows only one user account for each email address, if the new account exists you cannot switch the original administrator account to an MS account using the same email address.
