Change PC password?

When I try to change my password on my laptop, I also have to change my Microsoft account password. In the past, I was able to change my password easily without my Microsoft account. Is that somehow still possible?

If your Microsoft account is also your Windows 10 user account, then not.

I agree. Depends on the operating system - that was not specified.

However, you can convert the Micro $ account often into an offline account. Then it works as usual. It's also better for data pollution.

Thanks, it worked.
