I ordered copilot pro to create agents, but I cannot do that because I have a personal account. How can I change that to a business account?

Microsoft 365 and Office | Subscription, account, billing | For business | MacOS

Hi @VianneScharloo,

Welcome to the Q&A team, and thank you for contacting us.

Based on your description, it sounds like you’d like to change your personal Microsoft account to a business account in order to create agents.

Please note that Microsoft does not support direct conversion of a personal Microsoft account (e.g., Outlook.com, Hotmail.com) into a business account. Instead, you’ll need to create a new Microsoft 365 Business account. From there, you can either use both your personal and business accounts side by side or choose to cancel your personal account and use only the business account going forward.

For more details, you can refer to the article here.
If you have any additional questions, feel free to comment below, I am willing to assist you further.

There is no conversion of o365 a personal/family plan to an o365 bus plan

You need to clarify as to your exact aim/needs
