Windows 11 Work account Sign in

I got a new PC at work and needed to sign in with my work account but realised it was running windows 11 home, so I signed in with my personal account and purchased the windows 11 pro upgrade through the Microsoft store.

Since this is a work PC I don't want to be signed in with my personal account and linking my work one, but I can't see how I would sign in to my work account besides resetting the PC and doing it there.

Is there is a way to change the primary sign in account to my work one and remove my personal account. If not would resetting the PC remove the windows 11 pro licence and leave me back at step 1?

 

Desktop appears from different signed-in account


I noticed after a Windows 10 repair install that the desktop that appears isn't the desktop from the user account with which I'm signed in. In fact, that user account is no longer listed in user accounts, but its files still appear in C:\[my computer name]\Users. How do I get the correct desktop to appear?

Hello sciencegal,

You can have Windows automatically sign in to a local account or Microsoft account. It doesn't matter.

Is you account listed more than once in netplwiz? Double check to make sure that you have selected the correct account in step 3 Option 1.

The password is case sensitive, so be sure to enter it exactly for it to work properly.
