  1. Microsoft Account Transition


    We are a small Home Owner Association which purchased a PC and accounting software to manage our affairs. The previous President setup the PC with his credentials. I am hoping to setup an alias account that can then be transitioned to the next person as transitions take place in our organization. Can someone tell me:

    1. Can you update all user information assigned to a Microsoft account and the associated outlook.com email address.

    2. The proper steps to get the alias account setup as the owner of the PC and transfer all the existing files to the new owner.

    :)

    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.

    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
