    I run windows 10, I like to sign in with local accounts. My administrator account and my sons standard user account. This works well as I don't want my 9 year old having admin rights and he uses his own account. Recently I purchased Minecraft for him and had to login to his Microsoft account online to activate it. I then had to download the Xbox app to download and install it - This was mistakenly done while logged into my windows 10 profile.

    register PC with microsoft; use local account to log in

    I bought a used laptop running Win 10 Pro. winver reports 1809.
    How do I register my PC with my Microsoft account?
    But when I'm done, I'd like to use my local account each time to log in.
    Please tell me how to do that.
    I am very new at Win 10, and need step by step instructions.

    Thanks,
