    When signing into Microsoft's Phone Link I was recommended an unknown email as a sign in...


    This was the sign in options when I tried to log in, nobody else has used my laptop and the email doesn't belong to anyone I know. I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this but would like some advice on how to deal with this.

    :)

  2. My sign-in email is inextricably linked to the wrong account.

    Go here
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...3-c9ba8ba0e00b
    click on the link under this item
    Sign in to Manage how you sign in to Microsoft with your Microsoft account. If you’re having issues signing in to your Microsoft account, go to Microsoft account help.

    Then enter the AOL details
    they will send a verification email to your nominated security check - email address or whatever you set up as a security check
    When you have passed that proceed and choose as shown on the microsoft link
    If you want to use an existing email address or phone number, go to step 6.
    Under Sign-in preferences, select Change sign-in preferences.

    setting it as your Outlook account

    How can I un-link my current Microsoft account that is tagged to my Windows activation license and link it to a new Microsoft account?

    You don't make a new account & try to move your entitlements to it, you change the email address associated with the original account.

    My sign-in email is inextricably linked to the wrong account.

    Thanks again. I went to: Change the email address or phone number for your Microsoft account/Manage how you sign in to Microsoft

    This didn't work. The screen capture above is when I entered the Outlook information accidentally . When I enter the AOL information like you said to (I missed that the first time), I still get:

    There's no Outlook option shown or given, and when I try to add another email (the Outlook email) it just tells me that that email is all ready taken, and doesn't do anything. The Sign-in Preferences doesn't help, it doesn't list the Outlook account as actually being there. It just shows the AOL address, and then the name of the AOL address without the @ information.

    I must be missing something. Sorry!

    Is this possibly because I do have the Outlook account on my computer and there is no way to move aliases from one Microsoft account to another?
