Windows 10: Is their anyway to change my filles account to the emial that my computer is associated...

I'm trying to login to my flies account that I've been using and I'm not sure what happened but it switched out to an email address that I've never wanted to use yet somehow it used it and I got disconnected from my files telling me to log back into an account that I don't use or can gain access to it, its not giving me an option to sign back into the account that is associated with my actual windows account. Tried to use my pin code but it keeps telling me if I want to use that account that I don't have, I tried just entering my pin code then try signing in with my actual account that I use a

Change of accounts

Hi Maddy,

If you don't have any other accounts on your new laptop except for the old account that you've used, then I suggest that you create a new user account using your new account. By the way, is your old login a Microsoft account or only a local account?

To create a new local user account, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Settings > Accounts.
2. Select Family & other people in the left pane.
3. Under Other people, click Add someone else to this PC.
4. In the How will this person sign in window, click I don't have this person's sign-in information.
5. Fill out the details in Create an account on this PC window, then hit
   Next.
6. Follow the on-screen instructions.

If you want to make your new account an administrator account, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Settings > Account > Family & other people.
2. Select Change account type.
3. Under Account type, select Administrator, then click
   OK.
4. Restart your computer and sign-in with the new administrator account.

Please respond to this thread to let me know how the issue progresses. Similarly, if you have more questions, please inform me by replying to this post.

Regards.
