  1. Wrong account details


    My account on my windows 10 laptop is still linked somehow to my old email address.When ever i need to access the store it asks for the password to the old account, even though my account details are all update.If i choose the option for forgotten password it wants to send recovery details to an email address ive never heard of.How can I remove this link with the old and the strange email account?

    :)

    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

    Change Microsoft Account Details in Administrator Account


    Hi Daryl, welcome to the Ten Forums.

    It's quite easy in fact, simply switch the account in question first to a local account, then switch back to a Microsoft account, this time using your wife's MS account credentials.

    Tutorials:
    Notice that before doing this you need to remove the new additional MS account on the PC, the one you created with her credentials. Windows allows only one user account for each email address, if the new account exists you cannot switch the original administrator account to an MS account using the same email address.
