    Root Admin Account - change Windows Account


    Not sure how, but prior to my setting my Windows account on my root Admin account, a member of my family attached their windows account. Is there any way to change that? Everything in my searches says I have to setup another Admin account and delete the problem one. I will lose a bunch of stuff unless I copy it all properly. What a pain! I'm hoping there is a more elegant solution? Version 1809 Build: 17763.914

    Thanks,
    Dave

    Took me a bit to get back to this and figure it out. I had to click on "Stop signing into Microsoft account automatically". It did the trick though.
