Windows 10: Setting Up a Secondary Skype Name/Profile on the Same Email Address in Windows 10

Hello,


Is there a way to add a secondary Skype name/profile i.e., 1 for family / 1 for friends using the same first email address?


I already have a Skype account on an often-used email address, and am hoping I can just add a second Skype name/profile onto the same email address with separate profile name, login, and contacts list --without having to create a new separate outlook.com or other new email address to set-up a secondary Skype name/profile/account.


I'm on Windows 10.


Thank you.

Changing Windows 10 Profile Name

To change the email address, you can take these steps:

• Inside Settings, under Accounts, click "Sign in with a local account instead" and follow the steps to complete it.
  
  then
  
• Go back and choose "Sign in with a Microsoft Account" and follow the steps, and type the new email address you want.

 

How to delete an incorrect email address showing in profile history

The YouTube video does not work on a Windows phone. I tried to follow the steps but the email address still shows in the auto-complete(suggest) list when I start typing the to address. The only way I was able to get rid of the address was to "hard" reset
the phone. Which was painfull in getting it set back up the way I wanted to.

 

Change Windows Login Name

Did you already do step 5 in option 1 to apply for Windows?

I did step 5 and it changed my name on the lock screen to the email address associated with my Microsoft acct and not the name on my Microsoft acct.

However, the Skype name is separate from the MS account name if you are using the traditional desktop program. You can change the Skype name to match by opening Skype/Skype tab/My account which takes you to Skype account page. Click your picture/Skype alias/Edit profile on next page/Change name here/Save at page bottom. Good Luck

None of this works for me. I've tried. My Skype acct is synced with my Microsoft acct as well. Research I've done says to unsync it, but I'm not given that option on my Skype account.
