    How to use Microsoft Store for a specific Microsoft account?


    Hi there,I've got TWO Microsoft accounts. This is because one of them was created by Microsoft from my old Skype account.I've created a new one let's call it NEW and that's where I've got my subscriptions, etc.I'm trying to make a purchase at the Microsoft Store but when I click on the BUY button it opens a window asking for my SKYPE account's password. Problem is, I don't wanna make the purchase under this account but under the NEW account which is the one I'm currently signed in.I have no idea how to switch to the new one so I do all my purchases & subscriptions under the NEW account

    :)

    Thank you for the advice

    I see what you mean about the password but i think its a backward step to compromise my Microsoft password to to use the app store

    Yes. When you sign in to the Store with a Microsoft account like in step 5 in Option Two of the tutorial below instead of switching to a Microsoft account you will and stay a local account.
