Step 1:
In the search panel search for accounts and select “Change your account picture or profile settings” as seen in the screenshot below.
Step 2:
When the Account Settings menu opens you’ll see your currently activated email address. Below that you’ll find a link, labeled “Sign in with a local account instead”.
Step 3:
A screen will open, asking for your current password which is associated with your Microsoft account. Enter the password and click “Next”.
Step 4:
Enter a new local username and password, click on “Next”.
Step 5:
Click “Sign out and finish” and you are done. The last page is just a confirmation and a reminder that this will only change the local login and not your Microsoft account.
