Windows 10: Question about Office Sign In

I'm using a local account on my PC. If I signed in to Microsoft Office, would my local account become a Microsoft one? Would I be signed in to other services (like OneDrive), or would I only be signed in to Office? I'm hoping for the latter.

Office 365 on Continuum

The following steps worked for me (don't ask me how or why ):

• Click any office app on windows phone.
• In the screen, it shows New, Browse & recent files. It also shows my name/account at the top-right.
• Clicking on you name/account at top-right shows 2 accounts associated with this application.
  • Personal Account
  • Official Account
• Clicking on any of these accounts, only gives an option to sign-out.
• Since Microsoft Support technical team suggested that I reset my device. I did not want to reinstall all the apps, take backups & then reconfigure all of these again after the reset, unless it was the only option left.
• With no better option, I clicked sign-out on both the accounts listed in step 4 above. I then signed in with my official account. I was able to create new Office documents now.
• I logged-in to my other personal account also now. My office app still worked & allows me to access onedrive associated with both my personal & business accounts.

I was facing the same issues & even had multiple calls with Microsoft Support & waiting for a resolution.

Going through the above thread, I realized that multiple Microsoft accounts (personal & office) are associated with these apps. When I signed out of both these accounts from within the app & signed back in, I was able to edit using the office apps.

Hope this helps!

 

Local account installation question

I'm fairly certain that Skip this step was available in 10.0.130 - the workaround in Step 20 (back button) is no longer required.

The currently known, as of 10.0.130, ways to create a Local account sign-in are

• Skip this step at the MS account creation phase
• No Internet connection during the install
• static IP (post# 2 by Fragment) - New (to me anyway)
