    How to log out of someone else’s Microsoft account on your own laptop?


    I recently logged into a friend’s Microsoft account through the Microsoft Store so I could play one of his games, but it has switched his computer settings over to my laptop along with OneDrive. I am unable to sign out of his account in settings and I am also unable to create a local account through settings. I have already logged out of his account on the Microsoft Store, but his settings and OneDrive are still there. How do I fix this?

    :)

    register PC with microsoft; use local account to log in

    Just simply log in with your Microsoft Account.
    Switch to Microsoft Account in Windows 10

    Just go back to using a local account:
    Switch to Local Account in Windows 10

    Hopefully the tutorials are step by step enough.

    register PC with microsoft; use local account to log in

    I bought a used laptop running Win 10 Pro. winver reports 1809.
    How do I register my PC with my Microsoft account?
    But when I'm done, I'd like to use my local account each time to log in.
    Please tell me how to do that.
    I am very new at Win 10, and need step by step instructions.

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    To correct the issue, we suggest you to perform the steps below:

    • Press Windows log key + S.
    • Type User Accounts and click on it from the result.
    • Click on Manage Another Account.
    • If your son's account appears there, you can remove it and retain your account.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards.
