Windows 10: Separate Microsoft Live Personal Account from Business

Hello,


Somehow, I've ended up with a Microsoft Live account that is personal and business. I'm not sure how this happened exactly. The problem is that my work email address is now tied to the Live account Business and the Live account Personal. I shouldn't have a Live Business account. How do I remove the Microsoft Live Business account without losing everything in my Microsoft Live Personal account? My cellular number is also tied to both of these accounts - just as my email address is.


thanks in advance!

:)

I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

I suggest you to create a new Microsoft Account For personal use follow the steps below and check if it helps. Another account which you’re using now you can use it for business i.e. (old Microsoft account)

• 
  Go to the
  Microsoft account sign-up page and tap or click
  Create account.
  
• 
  In the User name box enter your existing email address, or tap or click
  Get a new email address to create an Outlook or Hotmail address.
  
• 
  Fill out the rest of the form, then tap or click
  Create account.

Separating personal and business accounts in windows 10

Hello,

I have 2 personal windows 10 PCs connect to my Microsoft account. I was given a Business windows 10 computer that has a local admin account. I wanted to listen to Groove music, so I logged in. Now my business PC has my Microsoft Account to login.

What is the correct way to separate Personal and Business PCs. Now that my Business PC requires my personal login, why won't OneDrive connect? It's looking for Business account...

 

contacts - separate personal and business

Since Windows 7 appears to not syncronize multiple contacts folders, does Microsoft intend on some different strategy for maintaining a separation between personal and business information (e-mails, contacts, calendars) within Outlook?
