  1. Why can't I sign in to Windows 11 Pro with a business account?


    Microsoft seems very convoluted with its naming schemes and what-not. I am an administrator for a small company, we buy new laptops quite a bit, and we get them all with Windows 11 Pro. Recently, we got one with Windows 11 Business, and it is the first version of Windows I have found that lets me sign in with my employee's business account. All others have to have a personal account to sign in to first. Am I missing something? Why doesn't this feature appear in standard Windows 11 Pro? Do I have to update a feature?Thanks in advance for your help.

    :)

  3. How do I buy Windows 11 with a business account?

    Hi,

    I have a MSFT 365 Business Premium subscription, which is tied to a work account. I am the admin for the organization.

    I need to buy a Windows 11 license key, but I can't figure out how to do that with the work account. Some things I've tried:

    Can anyone provide guidance how I can buy a Windows 11 license key with my work account?

    Thanks

    Taylor

    Windows 11 Work account Sign in

    I got a new PC at work and needed to sign in with my work account but realised it was running windows 11 home, so I signed in with my personal account and purchased the windows 11 pro upgrade through the Microsoft store.

    Since this is a work PC I don't want to be signed in with my personal account and linking my work one, but I can't see how I would sign in to my work account besides resetting the PC and doing it there.

    Is there is a way to change the primary sign in account to my work one and remove my personal account. If not would resetting the PC remove the windows 11 pro licence and leave me back at step 1?
