Windows 10: Merge Accounts

I just bought a new laptop and did not realize that on my former laptop, my Microsoft account was linked to a different email. Thus, when I was setting up my new laptop, I used the email that I thought I had used, but now I have two separate Microsoft Accounts. What I need to do, is change the email on Account 1 to the email that I am using for Account 2. It doesn't let me however because it tells me that the account is already in use. Is there a way to make Account 1 my primary account without losing any information etc that I have on Account 2?

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:
   
   Code:

   net user test /del

 

merging two accounts?/

Hi George,

There are several account types used in the Windows 10 operating system, this includes the administrator accounts, local user accounts, personal email accounts and your Microsoft account. Some accounts can be merged but do take note that this depends on
what you would like to merge. For us to resolve your concern, kindly answer the questions below:

• When you mentioned that after changing an account password you now have two accounts, we would like to confirm if what you mean is that another new account under a different name got created instead?
• What is the account that you were attempting to change the password on?
  
• We would also like to confirm what is that account that you would like to merge?

We look forward to your response to our queries.

 

Lost password on an Old Account, any way to merge accounts?

1. Multiple accounts are probably against the rules.
2. Why did you create a new account?
3. Why do you want to merge them?
