Hi Andrea,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

You can just provide the Administrator privileges to your personal Microsoft account from your current Admin account (work email ID). To do so follow these steps.

• Press Windows Key, Type manage your account
  and hit Enter.
• Click on Family and Other Users.
• Select the account that you wish to change to Admin account.
• You'll get an option to Change account type. Click on it and change it to
  Administrator.

If you wish to sign out from the Microsoft account, follow these steps:

• Press Windows Key, Type manage your account
  and hit Enter.
• Click on Your account tab.
• One the right side, you'll see an option to Sign-in with a local account instead.
• Click on it and enter your password to make changes.
• Follow the onscreen instructions to create a local account.
