After upgrading Win Home to Win 10/11 Pro cannot switch users.
I have purchased new computers with Win Home 10/11 installed.
I then purchase Win Pro upgrades and install them.
Even though Switch User is an option, it will only let me choose the username I set up the computer with.
Even with multiple local accounts installed.
This happens if I connect to Azure AD or not.
Help is sincerely appreciated.
