    You can't sign in here with a personal account. Use your work or school account instead.

    Office 365 Outlook email accounts

    The reason I am asking these questions are that two individuals are buying two new laptops and would like to share one Microsoft Office 365 Personal.
    A has a subscription to Microsoft Office 365 Personal already and wants to share the same account with B.
    I have installed Microsoft Office 365 Personal in a second pc B and when launching Outlook all my email accounts from A were loaded. So, I cannot figure out how to install Microsoft Office 365 Personal in a second pc so that my email accounts A are not loaded.
    This raises more questions for me.
    1. So this
      • User A installs and activates O365 on User B's laptop
      • User B adds his / her email accounts to Outlook
      would not apply to Microsoft Office 365 Personal as it breaches the licence agreement?
    2. Am I correct?
    3. If it does apply how can I install Microsoft Office 365 Personal in a second pc so that my email accounts A are not loaded, and I can only add B email account on the second pc?
    4. Would B be able to access A OneDrive?
    5. Or would B have a separate 1TB free space in One drive, or only the free 5GB or none at all?
    6. And most importantly is this even legal or in breach of contract as Microsoft Office 365 Personal is for one user only?

    Move files from Onedrive account to Office 365 account

    Background

    1. I have a Onedrive account linked to my Microsoft account that I use
      to back-up my personal files.
    2. I now have separately been granted an Office 365 account, which comes
      with unlimited storage.

    Issue

    As I am paying a fee (albeit small) to extend the size of the
    Onedrive capacity linked to my Microsoft account, I am keen to move
    some files between the two systems. The files I am looking to move
    exist only online.

    A number of tools offer functionality to handle files between cloud accounts, ie


    Howvever both these options do not recognise attempts to connect to the Office 365 Account (they work with Microsoft Accounts only).

    Question

    Is there a way to move the files without a two-stage download (to pc), then upload (to Office 365)?

    Unable to login to Windows 11 with Office 365 accounts

    Hello,GregW153

    Thank you for posting in the Microsoft community.



    I understand that you are unable to use your Office 365 account to log into your Windows system, and since there are account issues involved, I wanted to check with you.



    • I see that you specifically mentioned that you are unable to log in with your Office 365 account, are you able to log in to the system with your other Microsoft accounts?

      If so, how was it reconnecting to your Office 365 account after you logged into Windows?


    • Is your Office 365 a personal or business subscription?

    After you refer to the above steps, you can share some information in this thread and I will answer your questions further. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
