    Using MS account on a local account for games..


    I have a laptop and there are two users created......one (A) with admin status and a MS account. The other is (B) with a local account credentials. B has no MS account.

    Can I install games from Windows store on B's login account using my MS account?

    ...and perhaps some details illustrating the process would be welcome..

    Btw.....A and B lives several miles apart.....and the laptop is all the while with B..

    Thank you..

    Hello Fonzie, and welcome to Ten Forums. :)

    Sure, you can do this by signing in to the Store with your Microsoft account to do so, and still remain signed in to Windows with your local account.
