Thanks much to all replies, I had no idea where the name didlogical came from as there is no profile or anything etc like that on my Laptop. I thought possibly it was something my Thunderbird Email...

Ok, that's what I originally thought it meant and I definitely do not want that, so why is my only other option to choose for "Microsoft Apps only"? Or more pertinent what exactly does that mean?
In...

Ok, so you're saying the "Use this Account everywhere on your device" was referring to my Local Login Profile and not the Microsoft account I was logged into when this popped up, correct?

FIRST OFF, THANK you Shawn for this helpful post,

However there's another twist in between steps 4 or 5 where I was faced with the somewhat ambiguous choice of "Use this Account everywhere on your...
