    Using MS account on a local account for games..


    I have a laptop and there are two users created......one (A) with admin status and a MS account. The other is (B) with a local account credentials. B has no MS account.

    Can I install games from Windows store on B's login account using my MS account?

    ...and perhaps some details illustrating the process would be welcome..

    Btw.....A and B lives several miles apart.....and the laptop is all the while with B..

    Thank you..


    :)

  3. Windows 10 Local Account

    I am logged into my Microsoft account and I want to log into the current I have used for years. When I followed instructions, it wants me to create a new instead of just adding the current one. How do I add the current one that
    has all of my settings already established on my computer?

    Thanks.
