    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:

    1. Where exactly do you see the wrong email: in "Settings" > "Accounts", on the Windows sign-in screen, or only inside a particular app?
    2. 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

    Click on Sign in with Microsoft account instead. follow the steps and finish the rest. Sign in using the correct email this time.

    Restart the computer (Do Not skip)
