  2. 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.

  3. Is it possible to merge two Windows accounts?

    Hi Michal,

    Thank you for bringing up your query on Microsoft Community.

    I would like you inform user account merging is not available. You can move the data of user account manually to other user account.
    Follow the steps below for the same:


    • Use Windows Explorer to navigate to C:\Users to the account you want to COPY.

    • Right Click on the Folders (and/or files) and COPY

    • Go to the other account and PASTE where you want to put them.

    • Repeat as needed.
    Do not delete the folders and files from the account they are in until you are sure they are duplicated where you need them.

    Hope the above information helps.

    Feel free to post if you have any further query on Windows.
