I’ve had Win 10 for 8 months now and always logged on using my Local Account. Today, for some inexplicable reason, I thought I’d try the Microsoft Account option and now I’d like to revert to my Local Account. But how?
In “Settings/Accounts/Sign in with a local account instead” after entering my Microsoft password I’m invited to enter a new password for the Local Account (my user ID is pre-entered on the form) but the response is “Windows is already using that name. Please enter a different name”.
If I enter Newname, will Win10 merely rename C:Usersoldname… to C:Usersnewname… (which nicely gets me back to my original situation) or will it set up an entirely new User?
