Want to add my Microsoft 365 account as administrator on Windows 11 device

Hi Agile,
I'm Sumit, here to answer your query at the Microsoft Community.

Outlook.com and Microsoft 365 accounts are essentially the same unless you consider the MS 365 account to be a separate work account. I assume it to be the case in the statement below:

I think your current scenario is good. The reason why is that your 365 Work account may have policies. If you make it your Primary account, it might restrict things on your device, like controlling Windows updates, Browser installations, etc. I have kept my work account as additional for the same reason, because the work account has Group Policies.


Even if you want to, make a new user account with the Work account from Setings > Accounts > Family and Other users. Delete the Outlook account later after you have signed in.

Hope that helps, and rely on us for any further inquiries. All the best.
