Good afternoon Jaws Users list. If you change your Microsoft account, you will lose your office 365 subscription. You will have to buy it again for your new account. For example: I decided to make my computer and accounts more organized. I was using two Microsoft accounts on my computer. Instead, I decided to make a new Microsoft account, I made it an administrator account. Warning: after making this new Microsoft account, I deleted the other accounts. I chose to keep a copy of the old user folders. What happened after I restarted my computer was the following. No office 365, I went to the Microsoft store and purchased a yearly subscription to Office 365 this time instead of the month to month subscription for office 365. Now this is important, when my computer restarted, I had a brand-new desktop, which included an icon for my old user folders. So, I had to totally customize all my Windows 10 settings again, and set up my computer just like a new install of windows 10. With one exception, I could copy and paste al l my old user folders into the new user folders. Also, I had nothing in my new OneDrive folders. So, I set up OneDrive, I copied and pasted my stuff from the old OneDrive folder into the new one. I had to sink my chosen folders to OneDrive, I had to share a OneDrive link again with my two groups. I had to download many apps I wanted to use. I had to set some programs back up again. But for the most part, that was not too hard to do. The one challenging item for me was to set up Outlook 2016 again from scratch. No email accounts, no contacts either. The outlook.com account was easy to do, but the Yahoo Imap account was a pain in the butt to set up. I kept getting certificate errors. Turns out one of the server incoming numbers was wrong, and I had a period at the end of one of the server details. So to make a long story short, I spent several days setting up my computer after creating a new Microsoft account, and I had to buy the office 365 subscription again. But all and all, Jaws i s working much better now. I have everything reset to the way I had things customized on my W-10 computer before I made the change of my Microsoft account. So in my opinion, I am happy that I made this change to my Microsoft account. Everything is working better for me including Jaws. I just wanted you all to be aware of changing your Microsoft account if you are using an office 365 subscription. I also called Microsoft and cancelled my old Office 365 subscription. Just wanted to let you all know what will happen if you switch Microsoft accounts. Smiles.
