Windows 10: I want to know if I can add my account to my husband's computer

I want to know if I can add my husband's computer to my account

Windows 10 Mobile isn't picking up Outlook.com account

I upgraded my husband's Lumia 640 from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 Mobile. His Outlook.com account isn't listed in Accounts under Settings in People and Calendar. I've been through all the steps to add an account, but the Outlook.com account still isn't
listed. Can anyone suggest a workaround for this problem?

Remove account

I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

 

Need to access deceased husband's profile

I'm very sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in happy memories.

If you are familiar with technical procedures, you can perform these steps on your own. Otherwise it would be worth your while to have a professional perform them:

1- Before going any further, make an image of your husband's computer's hard drive and store the image on an external hard drive. You don't need a password to do this, but you do need to have image backup software installed on your computer.

Even if his computer completely breaks down and is unusable, you will still have a good copy of his hard drive.

2- When you have physical control of a computer, you are able to access everything and anything on the hard drive, regardless of whether or not you know the password, and there are many ways to do this. Your method of choice depends on what, exactly, you
wish to do.

3- If all you want to do is to retrieve your late husband's files from his user account, you don't need to actually log in to his account to do that. There are several ways to copy his files without logging in.

For example, you can mount the image backup suggested above to your hard drive and copy his files to your computer. This is an easy way to retrieve his files. The biggest complication you might run into is that you'll be denied access to his files because
they're not yours to open. This can easily be remedied by signing in to an Administrators account and 'taking ownership.' (That is the correct technical term.)

4- If you really would rather log in to your husband's account on his own computer, that too is possible but it will be more difficult. You will need to have access to an Administrators account on his computer, which means that you'll need to know the
account's password.

Even without knowing the Administrators account password, you can still gain access from the Administrator (no 's') account, but that too is complicated. Once you gain access to the computer through either account, you can reset the password to your husband's
account and thus gain entry.

I really feel that mounting an image and copying his files is the easiest way to go. This way, your late husband's legacy will live on to entertain more generations. Best wishes to you.
