Windows 10: "Looks like this isn't a Microsoft account. Try another email or sign up for a new one."

Andrew Bishop2 · Jul 21, 2023

I have computers at my other location that I can set up users I created in Azure. I have a new PC that shows my kids in the users and when I put in my employees emails it says the error message I left in the subject line. This is beyond frustrating and for weeks I can't find anything helpful online. I know Microsoft knows those users exist and it would make so much more sense to give instructions on changing the PC to a workplace computer.

sign into microsoft account glitch

Hi Micheal,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

Is this the only account on the computer?

Was this account upgraded from previous version of Windows?

It looks like you are using a local account. I suggest you follow these steps:

Click on search in taskbar and type account.

Click on Accounts.

Now, under Your account, click on Sign in with Microsoft account instead.

Enter your Local account password for confirmation and then follow the screen instruction.

Enter User name credentials for your the new Microsoft account and click OK.

Hope this helps.

Regards

How can I un-link my current Microsoft account that is tagged to my Windows activation license and link it to a new Microsoft account?

You don't make a new account & try to move your entitlements to it, you change the email address associated with the original account.

From Microsoft Support - Change the email address or phone number for your Microsoft account

I want to use a different email address or phone number to sign in

You can use any email address or phone number you have listed as a
username to sign in to your Microsoft account. If you want to sign in
with a specific one or change the one you're signing in with, here's
how:

Sign in to Manage how you sign in to Microsoft with your Microsoft account. If you’re having issues signing in to your
Microsoft account, go to Microsoft account help.

Note You may be prompted to enter your Microsoft account password, or
to enter a code sent to the email address or phone number listed in
your account's security information. By providing this info to us, we
know the request is coming from you.

If you want to use an existing email address or phone number, go to step 6. If you're adding a new email address or phone number, go to
step 3.

If you selected Add a phone number, go to step 5. If you selected Add email, choose whether to add:
a. A new email address. Select Create a new email address and add it as an alias, and then follow the instructions.

b. A non-Microsoft email address (such as an @gmail.com or @yahoo.com email address). Select Add an existing email address as a Microsoft
account alias, and then select Add alias.

After you've added the email address, you'll be asked to verify that you're the account owner:

a. Select Verify next to the new alias. A message is sent to the account for verification.

b. After you receive the message, select the included link to confirm that you own the account.

If you selected Add a phone number, follow these steps:

a. Select your country from the list.

b. Enter the phone number you
want to use, and then select Next.

c. When you add a new phone
number, we'll send a text message to that number to verify it. Enter
the code in the text message, and then select Next.

Under Sign-in preferences, select Change sign-in preferences.

Either select the check boxes next to the aliases that you want to use to sign in or clear the check boxes for the aliases that you don’t
want to use to sign in, and then select Save.
