New Win10 Logged in with wrong account
Upon setting up my new PC I used the wrong Microsoft Login. It's now rebooting and using this incorrect account. How do I remove this account and log in with the correct Microsoft account?

I suggest you convert it to a local account and then convert the local account back to an MSAccount using the correct email address.

It should just be a case of logging out of the incorrect account, and then logging in as the correct one. Once logged in as the correct account you can remove the wrong account.
This assumes that the correct account is an admin account, if not, log in and out of the Correct account to set it up and then use the incorrect account to set the correct account to be an administrator then log out and log in as the
account as an Admin
Only once happy that all is working, you can delete the wrong account, [or keep it unused for emergencies such as issues with the correct account in the future.]
It's my policy to always have at least two admin accounts, Just in Case - I try to log in to the spare account after every monthly update just to check it works and update any changes that are set on an account basis

Thanks guys. I had to do the local login to then re-log into Microsoft with my correct account. It worked. I appreciate it.

I'm glad it's resolved.
And I agree with Barman58 that spare Admin accounts are well worthwhile.
