Windows 10: Trouble with administrator email

Hi all,I'm having an issue with the email associated with my local user account on Windows 10. I have had this PC for a while now, and recently my main user account decided to link itself to one of my old email addresses without my permission - I think this may be because I signed into by Xbox account for the first time, which uses that old email. I now seem to be stuck with this email address as my main local administrator account - it appears as my email address under 'you info' on account settings, where it didn't appear before. I want this address to be entirely unlinked, as it was previou

HELP to Change Administrator Email on New Laptop

Hi Lian,

The email address that you are using in the Microsoft Store will be the email address that will appear as your administrator account. Signing in your son's Microsoft account in Xbox app might change the account that signed in to the Microsoft Store. That
being said, we suggest that follow these steps:

• Click on Start.
• Open Settings.
• Select Accounts.
• In the Your Info tab, Under Your
  email and accounts, click on
  Sign in with a
  local account instead.
• Enter the password for the Microsoft account to confirm that you are authorized to make the change, and then click on
  Next.
• On the Switch to a Local Account
  page, enter a temporary local user name and password.
• Click on Next to sign out from the Microsoft account and sign back in using the new local account password.
• Go back to Accounts, and this time, click on Sign in a Microsoft account instead.
• Fill up the information needed.

This step will change the email account linked on your administrator account. If you will let your son play on the Xbox app again, we suggest that you
create a separate user account for him.

Let us know if you have other concerns.
