  1. Separation of personal data from business


    I have microsoft 365. I use it for my personal computers at home, and also on the computers at the office. I want to keep the data separate. I don't want employees seeing my personal files. Onedrive keeps all the data synced. I want my computers at home synced. And I want the computers at the office synced to those computers only. How do I manage this?

    :)

    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?

    Separating personal and business accounts in windows 10

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



    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.



    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

    Separation of personal data from business

    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...
