  1. Microsoft account for log in


    Hi,


    We have a dell inspiron that has reverted to a very old microsoft account that no longer exists. When i try to change the password i can change the account to the current one my husbands account, and it happily changes the password, but then asks me to log on to the computer again and reverts to the old, non existant account. So there is no way to get into the computer. Is there any way out please.


    regards


    Helen

    :)

    register PC with microsoft; use local account to log in

    Just simply log in with your Microsoft Account.
    Switch to Microsoft Account in Windows 10

    Just go back to using a local account:

    Hopefully the tutorials are step by step enough.
