  1. Syncing across two MS accounts?


    HiI seem to have this situation. I've got Collections on my personal MS account - but they're all my business-related items, not my personal ones. I've got a different set of Collections on my work MS365 Business account - but they're all personal items that should be on the personal MS account. Is there any way of 'switching' them over?To be clear, this is not a syncing question syncing between browser/app, it's about seeing the right Collections within the right MS account.

    :)

  2. Microsoft Account not syncing WP8.1

    Hi Michael,

    We suggest that you manually sync your Microsoft account by following these steps:

    • Go to Settings.
    • Tap email + accounts.
    • Tap and hold your Microsoft account.
    • Tap sync.

    Check also if you have the correct date and time set on your phone.

    Let us know the results.

    Regards.

    MS Edge with corporate account, favorites don't sync ...

    Hello everyone, everything good?
    I believe I have tried almost everything so that my MS Edge favorites are synced using my corporate account and there is no way to make this happen ...

    I'm using the latest version of MS Edge as can be seen below and I also have my Windows 10 updated, but none of this worked ...

    I created a new profile for testing (I´m using a Microsoft Account, but I test with a Local Account too) and nothing ... I removed the Edge settings and nothing ... I removed and reinstalled the Edge and nothing.I don't know what else I can try to do.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thank you!

    Syncing across two MS accounts?

    Local Acct user and MS account user - sync them or merge them

    If the local account is the one where you have most of your personal data, this is how I would do it:

    • Sign in to your Microsoft account
    • Copy all documents, pictures and other personal data from Microsoft account's user folders to corresponding folders in user Public (contents of MS account Documents folder to Public Documents folder and so on)
    • Sign out from Microsoft account
    Notice that above steps are only required if Microsoft account user folders contain data you want to keep. If its user folders are empty or do not contain anything worth saving, you can skip the above steps. Continue from below.

    • Sign in to the local account
    • Delete the Microsoft account (Option One in this tutorial)
    • Switch your local account to a Microsoft account (tutorial)
    • Copy the data backed up from old Microsoft account to Public folders to new Microsoft account in corresponding folders

    That's it. Using the Public folders as temporary storage you will have none whatsoever file owner / permission issues later on.
