How to Change your Microsoft Personal Account to a Work Account in 5 Easy Steps
Are you using your Microsoft personal account for work purposes and want to upgrade it to a work account? This switch can be necessary when you want to separate your personal and professional life, or when your employer requires you to use a work account. In this blog post, we will discuss five easy steps that will guide you through the process of converting your Microsoft personal account to a work account.
Step 1: Create a new work account
The first step in changing your personal account to a work account is to create a new work account. Go to the Microsoft 365 admin center and click on “Add a user.” Fill in the required information, including the user’s name, domain name, and password. Next, assign licenses for the user by selecting the appropriate option on the license page.
Step 2: Invite the user to your organization
After creating the work account, the next step is to invite the user to your organization. Go to the Microsoft 365 admin center and click on “Users” from the main menu. Select “Active Users” and then click on “+ Add a user.” Enter the user’s details and select the new work account you created in step 1. Click on “Send” to send the invitation.
Step 3: Sign in to your personal Microsoft account
Once you’ve invited the user, sign in to your personal Microsoft account, and go to the “Accounts” section. Click on “Your Info” and then “Manage my account.”
Step 4: Connect your Microsoft personal account and work account
In the “Your Info” section, click on “Connect your work or school account.” Enter the email address associated with your work or school account and click on “Next.” You will be prompted to sign in with your work or school account credentials.
Step 5: Verify your work account
After you’ve signed in with your work account credentials, Microsoft will ask you to verify the account. Check your work email for the verification code, and enter it in the appropriate field. Click on “Verify” to complete the process.
