Windows 10: Setting up New computer at work and email address not working?

Hello, I run a small business with multiple locations and have a bunch of computers. I am no IT expert but do my best. I want to use the reception email address to set up this computer but when I enter it *** Email address is removed for privacy *** it says That the Microsoft account doesn't exist. Enter a different account or get a new one.When I click on Create a new one and enter that email address it says. You can't sign up here with a work or school email address. Use a personal email such as Gmail or Yahoo or get a new Outlook email. We use google email which that email is associated with. I don't want to enter

old email addresses

Thank you for updating me HA.111

Here is the step to remove that old email address.

Start typing an email address into the “To” field. As soon as you see the old email address being recommended as one of the potential candidates, use the down arrow key to scroll through the list of suggestions. Once you highlight the old email address, type the delete key. In many cases, this will actually remove the entry not only from the current list of suggestions but from future suggestions as well. You may even find that as you mouse over the drop-down list the highlighted item will have an “x” to explicitly allow you to delete it.

Just do this step and your good to go.

Continue to have an escellent day HA.111
