Does school have authority over personal laptop because of Office?

I have a personal Microsoft account and a school account, the school account has full access to office 365, and my teachers have said that we are allowed to download office apps at home and use our school accounts to gain full access, however, after downloading office and logging in with my school account, when I go to Windows Update, it says at the top "*Some settings are managed by your organisation.". When I click on "View configured update policies" it then shows two policies about "Active hours" "Source: Administrator". I own this laptop personally and therefore my school should have no authority or management of it. Can the school manage my laptop or know what I am doing/ see what I have stored on my laptop in any way?

If you are facing issues with syncing data of OneDrive from your School account, then I suggest you to follow the steps to

fix OneDrive sync problems.



However, if you want to add your School’s OneDrive account to your Windows 10 computer, then please follow the steps

how do I merge my personal and school Microsoft accounts?



Hope it helps.

Connect to work or school

My school provides an Office 365 subscription and I use my account on Office apps instead of my personal Microsoft account. If I add this school account to my personal Windows 10 Mobile device (Settings>Accounts>Access work or school), does it mean that
my school's device management rules will apply instead of my personal settings? My device is not owned by the school and I don't know what are the settings they are using on devices.
