Windows 10: Want to add my Microsoft 365 account as administrator on Windows 11 device

I setup my windows 11 local administrator account using my Outlook.com account but now want to change it to my Microsoft 365 account. I have already added my Microsoft 365 account as a secondary work/school account but i want it to be my main local administrator account.

Change Microsoft Account Details in Administrator Account


Hi Daryl, welcome to the Ten Forums.

It's quite easy in fact, simply switch the account in question first to a local account, then switch back to a Microsoft account, this time using your wife's MS account credentials.

Tutorials:

• Step 1: Local Account - Switch to in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
• Step 2: Microsoft Account - Switch to in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

Notice that before doing this you need to remove the new additional MS account on the PC, the one you created with her credentials. Windows allows only one user account for each email address, if the new account exists you cannot switch the original administrator account to an MS account using the same email address.

Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown

 

Microsoft 365 Business - enrolling Windows 10 devices

Hi everyone,

I'm the IT guy for a small business (<20 employees). We have subscription for Microsoft 365 Business and our users are on Windows 10 laptops. When preparing laptop for a new employee, I refer to this article: https://support.office.com/en-us/ar...caa-89a9-48cabf41f193?ui=en-US&rs=en-SG&ad=SG

My questions:

• When I enroll a Windows 10 laptop to Azure AD for a new employee, should I connect it using my own account or the new employee's account? Note: using the new employee's account means that I would have to create it, use it to enroll the laptop, change the
  password, then hand the account over to the new employee.
• I've been recommended to configure Azure AD users (i.e. employees) as non-Administrators on their laptops. Is it recommended to create a "local" administrator account on laptops for my troubleshooting purpose? Note: as the IT guy, I have Global Administrator
  role in Microsoft 365.
• When creating new application management policy for Windows 10, there is option for device type Personal or Company Owned. When enrolling a Windows 10 device, how does Microsoft 365 know that the device is personal or company-owned?

Thanks.
