Windows 10: Microsoft Account On or Off?

Recently Microsoft sent me an email saying that users need to log in to Microsoft Account once every two years or some services may be ended. I had closed Microsoft Account previously because I did not want it to possibly control or change anything on my computer. I logged into Microsoft Account and had to set up a new password so it may be a new account. My question is how do I know if I have Microsoft Account? It is not shown in Settings, Accounts. It just shows my computer and my name. In any case I wist to close my Microsoft Account if I have one. How do I do that? FWIW my negative experience in the past was that the desktop wallpaper of one laptop was transferred to my second laptop. Then the password of the second laptop was changed to be the same as the other laptop. I guessed right and was able to rescue the the laptop. I closed Microsoft Account after that. Thanks.
