If you use a local account to sign in Windows 10 and now want to use a Microsoft account instead, this would be easy. Here in this page, I will show you how to sign in Windows 10 with a Microsoft account<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How to sign in Windows 10 with a Microsoft account<\/h2>\n

Step 1: First, you need to have a Microsoft account.<\/p>\n

Tips: If you have no one, go to the sign-up page<\/a> to create one right now. If you forgot or lost the password for your existing Microsoft account, go to the password-reset page<\/a> to reset your Microsoft account password<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Sign into Windows 10 with your local account.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Open the Settings<\/strong> app<\/a>, using Win +I<\/strong> keyboard shortcut.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Click Accounts<\/strong>, then highlight Your account<\/strong> and click Sign in with a Microsoft account instead<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Sign<\/p>\n

Alternatively, you can click Accounts<\/strong>, then highlight Family & other users<\/strong>, and then click sign in with a Microsoft account under Your family<\/strong> section.<\/p>\n

\"Sign<\/p>\n

Step 5: Enter your email address or phone number, then enter the password for your Microsoft account and then click Sign in<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Enter<\/p>\n

Step 6: Enter the password for your current logged-in account, and then click Next<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Enter<\/p>\n

Step 7: If you want to set up a PIN for the Microsoft account, click Set a PIN<\/strong>. If not, click Skip this step<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Setup<\/p>\n

After the several steps above, this local account is using the Microsoft account. You also can sign out your current local account and then from the sign-in screen select the Microsoft account to sign into Windows 10.<\/p>\n

\"Microsoft<\/p>\n
