By Timothy Tibbettson 06/15/2023 |
Windows 10 allows you to sign in to a Local or Microsoft account, and you can easily switch between accounts. Here's how.
Using a Microsoft account allows you to sync your settings and files automatically, including multiple devices.
Click Start > Settings > Accounts.
Click on Sign in with a local account instead or Sign in with a Microsoft account instead. Switching between accounts is identical.
1: Sign in with a local account instead
Click Next when asked if you're sure you want to switch to a local account.
Enter your PIN.
Enter a user name and password. Verify your password and add a password hint.
Click on Sign out and finish.
2: Sign in with a Microsoft account instead
Enter your email, phone number, or Skype account.
Enter your password and click Sign in.
Enter your password a second time and click Next.
Click on Sign out and finish.
