Problems Signing into Nearby Sharing

I'm trying to use Nearby Sharing for the first time with my Android phone. Although I'm signed into my Windows account as an administrator, the Nearby Sharing page demands that I sign into an old work account that I've not had access to in years. How do I change that to be my Windows account?

Another forum's ChatGPT suggested I look at "Settings (gear icon) > System > Shared Experiences" but that doesn't exist, just the Nearby Sharing settings. Then it suggested I look in the Services app for Nearby Sharing... but it's not in there either.

1. Try removing the old account from Windows (then reboot the computer):

2. Nearby sharing in Windows only works between Windows PC's. It will not work with your Android phone.

Thanks for that advice, especially step 1. I investigated and found that there is a Beta version of it which does work with Android, so I'm trying that out.
