Microsoft Updates Guide on Switching Between Local and Microsoft Accounts

22 Jun 2026

Microsoft recently made updates to its guide on how users can switch between a Local account and a Microsoft account on their Windows PC. Initially, the guide only covered the process of switching from a Local account to a Microsoft account. However, after receiving feedback, the company added a separate section for migrating from a Microsoft Account to a Local account.

Although the company had initially removed this section, it has now been restored following the backlash. The restored walkthrough largely remains the same, with one notable change. Microsoft has included a new section on Local account recovery using a password reset disk.

In addition to the updated guide, Microsoft has also published a new page on its website specifically dedicated to password reset disks and how to set one up. The tech giant emphasizes the importance of creating a password reset disk as a precautionary measure to regain access to files and settings in case of a forgotten password.

The steps to create a password reset disk include ensuring you are signed in with your local account, plugging in a USB flash drive, accessing the Control Panel, and following the instructions provided. It is recommended to keep the password reset disk in a safe place for future use.

For more detailed instructions, you can visit the page on Microsoft’s official website.
