    Hey, just wondering we have to use personal Microsoft account if we want to sign in with a Microsoft account instead of local account on a PC or laptop? Is there any way to sign in using school account as Microsoft account on my computer?

  2. Sign in without school account

    Hi and thanks for reaching out. My name is Bernard. I'm a Microsoft Windows expert and a Microsoft Windows fan like you. I'll be happy to help you out today.

    Seems that the account still on the PC, to check follow the steps below:

    Go to Settings (Press Windows key+ i)

    Click Accounts > Click Access work or school then click the account and click Disconnect.

    If issue persist we may need to sign on your account to local account then sign back to Microsoft Account.

    In Start Windows logo Start button, select Settings Gear-shaped Settings icon > Accounts Contact icon > Your info.

    Select Sign in with a local account instead.

    Then sign out the account.

    Sign in back then

    In Start Windows logo Start button, select Settings Gear-shaped Settings icon > Accounts Contact icon > Your info.

    Select Sign in with a Microsoft Account.

    Let me know how does it goes and I hope that helps.

    Bernard

  3. Can't add a school account?

    Hi,

    Thank you for the update and apologies for late response.

    • Are you trying to setup school account in Mail app?
    In order to access Mail app, you need sign-in to your computer using Microsoft Account. You cannot use Mail app in Local account. May be this is the reason, it works fine with the user account signed-in with Microsoft Account.

    Hope this helps.

    Can't add a school account?

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. I understand the inconvenience you are facing. I will certainly help you with this.

    I suggest you to try the below given methods and check if it works:

    Method 1:

    This issue may arise due to some file corruption, I suggest you to try running DISM tool and check if it works. To do so, refer the following steps:

    • Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.
    • In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    • Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.
    Method 2:

    I suggest you to try to create a new user account and check if you still face this issue in new user account. To create it perform the steps mentioned below.

    • Press Windows key + X key and select
      Control Panel.
    • Click on User accounts and Family Safety.
    • Click on User Account and then click on Manage Accounts.
    • Now click on Add a new user and follow the instructions.
    • Sign out from the current User account and log-in using new User account and check if issue persist.
    Hope this information helps. Please post back with the results, we will be glad to assist you further.

    Thank you.
