Hi Hitendra,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. I understand your concern and I am glad to assist you.

I would suggest you to switch your Microsoft account to a Local account first and then switch back with a new Microsoft account. Please refer to the following steps:

Step 1:

• Type Manage your accounts
  in the search bar and click on it
• Click on "sign in with a local account instead"
• Press next and complete the process.
• If you do not have a local account, leave the credentials blank and proceed.

Step 2: Now, on the newly converted Local account, follow these steps to add a new MSA.

1. In the Start search, type "Manage your accounts" and press Enter.

2. Choose 'Accounts'.

3. Click on "sign in with a local account instead"

4. Enter the Microsoft account ID and Password and click Next.

Windows 10 - wrong microsoft acct on admin account

Hi, kind of new to WIndows 10, hope this isn't a silly question.

When I bought my laptop, I created a single local admin account, not tied to my Microsoft account. Recently, I tried to add a Microsoft account for my son so he could do school work on my laptop, but I could monitor him. During the course of adding a new
family user and entering his Microsoft account info, lo and behold, all of a sudden his name and email address are listed as the admin account and my local account is not listed on the account list.

But, when I click the Manage My Microsoft Account button (with his name and email address listed at top of page), it opens my Microsoft account view.

I have to log in to the laptop with his email and password.

Not sure what I did wrong, hopefully this is detailed enough for someone to help.
