Hi,

Somehow my Personal and Professional Microsoft Accounts are linked together, how can I separate them?

My home account that I purchased Microsoft software for should be link to the email address WFritz@SBCglobal.net.

My work account should be linked to WFritz@PalosHealth.com.

Having both on my work account is causing me a lot of trouble and the work email address will be changing soon.

Sincerely,
Walter C Fritz

    I have gotten to work on the issue yet do to work, but I do not see how to get my personal under my WFritz@sbcglobal.net, so it is the userID and leave my work account under the WFritz@Palosheal.com.

    I seen the link to deleted the accounts, but what I need is two accounts on under each email. I bought Microsoft software for my home and it should be under my personal email address.

    Thank you for your help so far, James.

    @JamesTran-MSFT
    Is there any way to have the account split without deleting from one? I would have to create another account to somehow get the information I deleted from the first account on to the new account

    Hi James,

    I could not find the private message to get your email information in this line of conversation I now have two accounts, one under CharlesJohn.Fritz@Stuff .com and another 307226@PalosHealth.com. Do you see both? The first one still seems to show both my personal account and a work account. I believe the second only has a work account. Would you be able to tell me it that is true?

    Sincerely,
    Walter C Fritz
