  1. too may microsoft accounts


    i bought a new laptop and it is using my microsoft account that was tied to my employer. I have another onedrive account that was created on my phone and that is where my data is, it is a different username. On my laptop I can not open my one drive files as they are not on the employee one drive account. How do I get rid of the employee account on my personal laptop and revert to the one I use through my phone.

    :)

    sign into microsoft account glitch

    Hi Micheal,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    • Is this the only account on the computer?
    • Was this account upgraded from previous version of Windows?

    It looks like you are using a local account. I suggest you follow these steps:

    • Click on search in taskbar and type account.
    • Click on Accounts.
    • Now, under Your account, click on Sign in with Microsoft account instead.
    • Enter your Local account password for confirmation and then follow the screen instruction.
    • Enter User name credentials for your the new Microsoft account and click OK.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards
