Changing the Account or Email Address in Windows 11 (from Personal to Business)

Good morning Lukas,

To remove your personal account from Windows, open settings and navigate to Accounts > Email & accounts. Under the section for accounts used by other apps, select the personal account and choose "remove". After that, add your business account by selecting Add a workplace or school account and following the authentication prompts. If the personal account is currently used for Windows sign-in, you must first switch to a local account via Settings > Accounts > Your info by selecting "Sign in with a local account instead" before proceeding with removal.

I hope you are clear with the information. Should you have any more questions, feel free to leave a message. It's really appreciated of you to accept the answer to help build the community by sharing your experience with the issue. Thanks!

Hi Lukas,

The Remove option is absent because your personal account is currently the primary sign-in for Windows. Navigate to Settings > Accounts > Your info and select "Sign in with a local account instead" to switch to a local account. After completing this, return to Email & accounts where the Remove button will now be available for the personal account.
