Whether you want to switch and set a new Microsoft account as your primary account or change a Microsoft account that someone logged into your laptop, you can pretty easily do so through Windows settings.

However, the method to change your Microsoft account is quite discreet as you will have to first convert your Microsoft account to a local account. Then, you may log into that local account with the Microsoft account of your choice.

Step 1: Change Microsoft Account to Local Account

You can easily switch from a Microsoft logged-in account to a local account from Windows Settings. This process won’t delete any data from your user profile, and won’t sign you out from the individual apps that you’ve logged in using that sameMicrosoft account.

If you would like to keep using a local account instead of changing your Microsoft account, you can simply not add a Microsoft account again to do so.

Step 2: Add New Microsoft Account

you’re able to now add a new Microsoft account to your transitioned local account to change the Microsoft account on your laptop. Besides, adding a Microsoft account to your local account is pretty similar to changing to a local Account.
