How to change a "work/school" account to "personal"

Hello Jonathan B,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I am a Microsoft 365 user just like you. I hope you are doing well?

I understand you are inquiring about how to transfer your school OneNote files from your school account to your personal account.

Yes, you can copy notes/materials from your school account to your personal account.

1. Open the OneNote app.

2. Navigate to the notebook with the notes you'd like to copy over.

3. Right-click on the page that you want to copy, then select Move/Copy from the pop-up menu.

4. Choose the section where you want to copy, then select Copy.

5. Navigate to your personal account's notebook to view the copy of that page.

6. Repeat the steps above for any pages you want to copy into your personal account.

@Windowsuser2013 This is not really my area of knowledge. I think it would depend on your scenario. Are you using Office at home or in work?

If you are in work then you would need to talk to your IT admin. The page I linked above says this "To switch update channels, you can use the Office Deployment Tool or Group Policy." Your IT guys would need to do that.

This page goes into some detail on the various channels and how to change them (English only).

If you are a home user you might be able to change it via this page and some option available after that. I can't test it here as I only have a work account and am on vacation.

If you succeed in changing could you let me know how you did it please?

Hallo Georgi T.,

ich habe auch das Problem, dass ich bei der Anmeldung bei meinem persönlichen Konto ein "Geschäfts- oder Schulkonto" vorgeschlagen bekomme.

Wenn ich dann versuche mich mit meiner gmx.de Adresse anzumelden, dann schlägt das mit der Fehlermeldung "This doesn't look like a work or school email. You can't sign in here with a personal account. Use your work or school account instead." fehl.

Was ja auch einleuchtet, nur kann ich mich nicht einloggen, um das Geschäftskonto zu entfernen.

Könntest du für mich das mit dieser Emailadresse verküpfte
Geschäftskonto löschen?

Mein Persönliches Konto möchte ich gerne behalten.

„Starting today, we’re blocking the ability to create a new personal Microsoft account using a work/school email address, when the email domain is configured in Azure AD.

What does this mean? If your organization uses Office 365 or other business services from Microsoft that rely on Azure AD, and if you’ve added a domain name to your Azure AD tenant, users will no longer be able to create a new
personal Microsoft account using an email address in your domain.

This sign-up block has been running in limited Preview for a hand full of organizations and is now active for all domains names that are configured (DNS-verified) in Azure AD. No action is necessary to enable the block.”
