I have a personal Microsoft account/O365 family subscription and a work Microsoft account. The former is @outlook.com.au and the latter is @companydomain.com.au

Recently when I was attempting to do some personal work with Azure, I found that my personal account is linked to my work account (see below).

  • No other directories are listed for me to switch to (see below)
  • I can't create a new tenant/directory (option is disabled, see below)
  • I cant find the option to leave an organisation as discussed here

Ideally I would like to separate my personal Microsoft account from my work account and begin trialing Azure services.

Thanks for any assistance.

    Thank you for posting your question in Microsoft Q&A.

    • You're using a personal account, you'll need to use a My Account URL that includes your tenant's name or tenant ID. For example: if you tenant name is contoso.onmicrosoft.com then you will have to go to URL https://myaccount.microsoft.com?tenantId=contoso.onmicrosoft.com. You might need to open this URL in a private browser session.
    • Select Organizations from the left navigation pane or select the Manage organizations link from the Organizations block.
    • The Organizations page appears, where you can view and manage the organizations you belong to.

    • Home organization: Your home organization is listed first. This organization owns your work or school account. Because your account is managed by your administrator, you're not allowed to leave your home organization. You'll see there's no link to Leave. If you don't have an assigned home organization, you'll just see a single heading that says Organizations with the list of your associated organizations.
    • Other organizations you collaborate with: You'll also see the other organizations that you've signed in to previously using your work or school account. You can decide to leave any of these organizations at any time.
    • You can click on leave button in front of the organization which ever you want to leave.

    Do let me know if you have any further questions.
