    One Drive saying I'm signing in with a different account?


    I recently changed the email of my Microsoft account, and my one dive has signed out. It says I need to enter the password to my account to enable sync again, but when I go to sign in, it says "account does not exist". When I sign in with my current Windows log in info, it says I am syncing a different account. I tried making my old email an alias and nothing changed.

    :)

    Cannot sign in microsoft account.

    My device: Lumia 520. GDR2.
    I cannot sign in my Microsoft account on my device. It didnt say any error but Microsoft account is not listed in Email and account list. When I click add button, it will show microsoft account option but after press sign in, it is still not shown in email
    and account. Another problem is i cannot delete facebook account. Error code: 0x83cf1202. I have tried as suggested here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2475837/en-us#step0x83cf1202 but as my Microsoft account is not shown, I cannot do step 6. One Drive saying I'm signing in with a different account? :(

    Any suggestion?

    Sign in Store with Different Account in Windows 10


    Great - this is definitely a good change - it proves MS do listen to feedback.

    Edit: I am puzzled now as your screens are different to mine!

    I will post image when I get on my pc.

    Edit 2: This is interesting. You get the new link first time you set Store to login to a new account (ie one not shown initially) but if you create a new one, sign out, then select same (now existing) MS account, you do not get the link!

    Great consistency eh - LOL!
