Message: [QUOTE="JACK B, post: 60644, member: 18180"] March 24th. I'm a novice at this stuff and wish to accomplish 3 things, each of which present a problem. I wish to ... 1. Delete a Microsoft Outlook account mistakenly created when installing Win 10 on my laptop; 2. Install my existing Microsoft Account (used on my existing desktop computer) on my laptophari to facilitate mail, calendar and contact synching, and OneDrive file sharing; and 3. Install a "local account" (What exactly is a local account) to allow me to switch between the Microsoft account and local account as may be required. Can this be done, and how? Special problem: I didn't record the password to the Outlook account when it was created, and it seems I have to open it with a password before I can delete it. After many attempts to open the account, Microsoft has announced the account has been suspended. Great. But do I get it off my laptop? The Outlook.Com account is listed as the Administrator account. Fortunately, I have yet to add any files or critical data to my laptop yet, as I read somewhere that files will be lost if I delete the Microsoft Outlook Account. I do have an independent email account (Earthlink) accessable by browser. Is this a local account? JACK (TheArborGroup@Earthlink.net [/QUOTE]
