Question asked on Mar 16, 2014

I do not want my Microsoft Account to appear on my new home PC. I looked up turning Off the Microsoft Account options on-line.

I tried to follow the instructions to change from a Microsoft account to a personal account (in Windows 8.1) but the on screen intrusions did not follow the same process that I experienced when trying to complete the change.

(BTW - Why would Microsoft complicate a system that used to work perfectly well in Windows XP with this new system that you seemingly get trapped inside and can't get out of - all I want every time I want to send an email is to go straight to Outlook!).

I find the Microsoft Mail account almost impossible to use and much prefer Outlook - but it keeps taking me to Microsoft Mail - Very annoying.

How do I turn off Microsoft Account for my home PC (Specifically, I do not want business emails being combined with my home email - I already get far too much of both!).

Thank you.
