Windows 10: Am I allowed to have two separate Microsoft accounts?

I had made an account way back using my normal gmail. The onedrive on that one is synced up to my phone, so it's stores my photos and stuff. I also have it as an operator in a family group. Then apparently when I wanted to play minecraft and saw that you needed a microsoft account to to that, I ended up making a whole new microsoft account using a different gmail. I bought minecraft on that second microsoft account and really only use it for that purpose. I did also join the family group with this second account as well.My question I guess is is it ok to do that? Am I allowed to have two

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:

• Step 1: Local Account - Switch to in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
• Step 2: Microsoft Account - Switch to in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

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.

Separate 2 computers from 1 Microsoft account

Hello,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



As you want to remove the Microsoft account from one of the two computers, I suggest to convert the Microsoft account to a local account on one of the computers. This will separate two computers from the same Microsoft account.



Please refer this article
Switch your Windows 10 device to a local account.



However, if you don’t want to convert the user account to a local account, then you need to use a different Microsoft email ID to separate two computers.



To use a different Microsoft email account on one of the computer, you first need to convert the current account to a local account by following the same steps provided in the article above, then click on
Sign-in with Microsoft account instead option from settings and enter the different Microsoft credentials that you wish to use.



Hope it helps.



Thanks,
