Windows 10: Is this email from Microsoft real?

I received the email below and suspect that it really isn't a message from Microsoft. Does Microsoft send out emails like this one or might it be a scam of some sort?What is shown is the result of a snip and while the wording is correct, for some reason, the fonts and varying print sizes in the original are not reflected in this snip. I also obliterated part of my email address.Microsoft accountNew apps have access to your dataMicrosoft Tech Community connected to the Microsoft account ac**2@oxxxxxxxIf you didn't grant this access, please remove the apps from your account.Manage your app

Hello,



Thank you for reaching us on the forum with your concern.



As per the issue description you have two email id's and you want to change your secondary email to primary on your pc.



I would suggest you to switch the login account to Local user account. Then switch back to Microsoft account which you want to use. You may follow the steps provided below:



Step 1: Switch to local user account

Follow these steps to create a “Local User account”.

• Press “Windows key +W”.
• Type “users” without quotes in the search box.
• Then select “Users” from the left panel.
• You will get an option “Switch to a Local account” right below your user account name.
• Select “Switch to a local account” option.
• Enter the required details.
• Then login to the local account and check how it works.

Step 2: Switch back to Microsoft account

Follow these steps to create a “Microsoft account”.

• Press “Windows key +W”.
• Type “users” without quotes in the search box.
• Then select “Users” from the left panel.
• Select “Switch to Microsoft account” right below your user account name.
• Enter the required details (Primary Email ID).
• Restart the computer and then try to login using new Primary account.

Hope this would help. If issue still persists post back with current status of your computer and result of proposed suggestion, we will be happy to assist you.
