Check Account is Local Account or Microsoft Account in Windows 11 Tutorial

This tutorial will show you how to check if a user account is either a local account or a Microsoft account in Windows 11. Having different accounts on a shared PC lets multiple people use the same device, all while giving everyone their own sign-in info, plus access to their own files, browser...

If you want to switch from a Local Account to a Microsoft Account, try this
Switch to Microsoft Account from Local Account in Windows 11 Tutorial
If you're not logged into your Microsoft Account, Do you see it listed in the Users? If not, click the link to Add Microsoft Account

I got into enough trouble already!

So far, I've never tried to have a Local Account . . . I really don't need one.

If I'm not mistaken, my "user/owner" account is also an admin account?

It should be, look in Settings > Accounts. It will tell you there whether it is a local account or a Microsoft account, and underneath that whether it is an administrator.

It should be - double check to make sure. But if you've already installed apps using that account and were only present with the normal UAC prompt asking for Yes / No, then you should be.

If you were a limited account it would ask for a username and password for an account with admin level privileges to install software.

EDIT: I did not realize there were more replies lol. Bree already answered, and Wynona already verified.
