Hi, @Cheryl Halseth

Do you mean the wrong email is showing for the Administrator account under "Settings" > "Accounts" > "Your info"?

If so, the steps depend on whether Windows is signed in with a Microsoft account or a local account.

To help narrow this down:

Where exactly do you see the wrong email: in "Settings" > "Accounts", on the Windows sign-in screen, or only inside a particular app?

Is the email you want to use already a Microsoft account?

Any additional info about the issue you can provide will be helpful in diagnosing and resolving the issue.

Thanks!

Go to Settings > Accounts > Your info

Click on Sign in with local user instead. follow the steps and finish the rest.

(If you don't see the "sign in with a local account instead option, click on "Stop signing into Microsoft apps automatically" first, then relaunch this page. )

Restart the computer (Do Not skip)

Go to Settings > Accounts > Your info
