Windows 10: Switching Business Account to Personal Account

I recently retired and was allowed to take my computer with me upon retirement.


Because I was running the companies software--most notably Windows 10 and Office 365--I decided to go ahead and buy a subscription to Office 365 Home and I want to do the same thing for my Windows 10 software as well. The fact is, there are various IT Admin settings on the account that I would prefer to have removed and I don't think I can get rid of them without either doing a fresh install of Windows 10 or changing the Product Key (which I assume can be purchased online).


Is my thinking correct? Do I need to pay to get a new Product Key? And do I need to change the product key from the one I currently have in order to avoid my former company having control over some of the settings on the computer.

Thanks,


John

Changing a personal Microsoft account to business account

Hi Prakhar,

Thanks but already stated been down the no alias track ... and all want, is to have my current business email as main 'everything'

Find strange (especially in 2019 cant just transfer over from personal to business)

So is only option is delete personal account and set up one for business?

But worried with come into issues as Office365 Business premium and domains are set up with personal MS account email plus all stuff on Microsoft. Cant even sign into Edge Chromium browser as doesn't accept business email but could sign into Book 2 when
set up so go figure. Have also have Office 365 Business premium without MS business account and Skype business and OneDrive business with personal account without any red flags (rather strange in itself)

Does anybody know if can contact MS (but without going through that convoluted stupid virtual assistant) and know if they can change everything over from personal? (Best Number if possible)
