Windows 10: Microsoft Account Question+ PC Profile question

Greetings everyone, I hope you are well.


Recently I lost all access to my microsoft account which i'm still trying to gain access to. I'm still able to log into my pc via pin code and that is great. I keep getting alerted about the pc not being able to sign into the microsoft account which makes since because it's currently locked. Is there a way I can assign the same pc profile access to my other microsoft account so I can stop getting the alerts and just move on with the new inbox and such so i'm not constantly being reminded about what I lost after using that account since 06.


Is there a way to keep my usual sign in pc wise without making a whole new profile so that I have my same settings folders programs and the like. I really don't want to make a new name on the pc, if I can just assign a new microsoft account to the current profile, in place of the locked one.


Is that a possibility? If so how can I achieve this.


Thank you for your help,

Marcus

Local account installation question

I'm fairly certain that Skip this step was available in 10.0.130 - the workaround in Step 20 (back button) is no longer required.

The currently known, as of 10.0.130, ways to create a Local account sign-in are

• Skip this step at the MS account creation phase
• No Internet connection during the install
• static IP (post# 2 by Fragment) - New (to me anyway)

 

2 part question......Removing an account AND.....changing a profile Picture

Hi Carl,

The account that you’re seeing on the login screen of your Windows 10 PC can be removed from the
Settings or using an elevated Command Prompt. To sort out your concern, we suggest that you manage the account by following the steps below:

• Click Start > Settings > Accounts.
• For Windows versions 1607 and 1703, click the Family & other users.
• For version 1709, click Family & other people.
• Select the account that you want to delete, click Remove, and then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.
• After completing the steps, you may check if the issue persists.
  

You may also use the Command Prompt to delete the account by proceeding with these steps:

• Click Start, type Command Prompt, right-click on the program and select
  Run as administrator.
• Type net user and press Enter. It will show the list of accounts on your computer.
• On the Command Prompt window, enter this command: net user (User account) /delete and press
  Enter. (Example: net user /delete).
• Once you’re done, this process will automatically remove the account from your computer.
  

Note: Before doing these steps, restart your PC to make sure that the account that you want to delete is not currently signed in. Additionally, you may be prompted for an administrator password and confirmation of the changes that require
administrative rights. Provide the password and confirm to proceed. Please make sure that you follow the steps with care to avoid any issue.


Furthermore, you may change the account photo on your PC by following the steps provided in this article on how to

Change Microsoft Account Details in Administrator Account


Hi Daryl, welcome to the Ten Forums.

It's quite easy in fact, simply switch the account in question first to a local account, then switch back to a Microsoft account, this time using your wife's MS account credentials.

Tutorials:

• Step 1: Local Account - Switch to in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
• Step 2: Microsoft Account - Switch to in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

Notice that before doing this you need to remove the new additional MS account on the PC, the one you created with her credentials. Windows allows only one user account for each email address, if the new account exists you cannot switch the original administrator account to an MS account using the same email address.
