Windows 8 with 2 Microsoft accounts?

Yea, I would create a local account and just use your school account to login to Outlook and Onedrive.

Edit:
Here switch between local and microsoft account.

 

Windows 8 with 2 Microsoft accounts?

I was thinking of doing that, but it will be a PITA setting everything up on the 2nd account again. I might go that way and just spend the time getting the account in order.

The problem is, I would need to switch at the start of every day. Extra reset and waiting for the settings to be applied etc. Also, I'm not sure whether one drive would be maintained after switching back to a local account. I wouldn't want to have to re-sync every time I logged in. I may have to do some testing to see if onedrive is maintained after switching back to a local account.

 

Difference between Microsoft accounts

Hi there,

I'm interested in what the difference is between a Microsoft Account and a ExchangeOnline/Office365 Account. Presently I have both, with the same ID and from what I understand from the Microsoft stand point there managed different.

Is there a benefit or limitation to having both? for me it seems a hassle to maintain two different accounts. I think on my Microsoft account I have a onedrive subscription and a skype profile and
no email address assocated. on my EOL/Office365 I purely have my email account and Azure associated to it. is there any harm in closing the Microsoft account and migrating everything over to the EOL/Office365?

From what I've tested in windows 10, if I use my Microsoft account to login it as a "simple" account, if I use my EOL/Office365 as a login it acts as a "work" account and may add some policies. I don't know if there's any limitations if use either when joining
the computer to an actual domain.

I heard a rumor awhile ago that Microsoft was actually planning on tackling this issue and merging the accounts as somepoint

thoughts or suggestions?
