    Unauthorized Emails from my account?

    It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

    Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.

  3. Microsoft Account Email Change

    Hi Carlo,

    Do you want to replace the current account with another Microsoft Account?

    I suggest you to convert the current Microsoft Account to a local account and then convert back to Microsoft account but while doing so add the new Microsoft account that you want to replace with the old.

    This way you would not need to transfer all her applications, software, data, etc.

    1. Convert Microsoft Account to a local account

    • From the Desktop. Press the Windows key and then press the letter R.
    • This will bring up the run box.
    • Type Control Panel and click OK.
    • This will bring up the control panel and you will be able to access the user accounts from there.
    • To change to local account, do the above steps, If in category view Click on user accounts and Family safety.
    • Then click on user accounts. Click on make changes to my account in PC settings. You should be able to change to a local account.

    2. Convert local account to a Microsoft Account


    Step 1:
    Go to Start
    my microsoft account was stolen and the email was changed 6ec55dc1-424c-4352-b681-3d4a8342bc62.png?n=windows-10-windows-icon-20.png
    , and select
    Settings > Accounts > Your account.

    Step 2:

    Look to see which kind of account you used to sign in:

    • A Microsoft account. If you're already signed in with a Microsoft account, your name and email address appear above your account picture.
    • A local account. If you're signed in with a local account, you'll see the words
      Local Account below your name, along with the Connect to a Microsoft account link.

    Switch your local account to a Microsoft account.

    Step 1:
    Go to Start
    my microsoft account was stolen and the email was changed 6ec55dc1-424c-4352-b681-3d4a8342bc62.png?n=windows-10-windows-icon-20.png
    , and select
    Settings > Accounts > Your account.

    Step 2:
    Select Sign in with a Microsoft account.

    You might have to verify your password.

    Step 3:
    Choose one of the following:
