Using Windows 8.1, is there a way to log into my OneDrive account while continuing to log into my machine using my local signin so I can continue access everything on my LAN? When I open OneDrive it seems to want me to change my machine login. If I try to install OneDrive for Windows 7, the installation says there is a higher version already installed. I could not find a way to uninstall the current Windows 8.1 OneDrive.

No. OneDrive will only log in using the Microsoft account you are logged into Windows 8.1 with.

  • I did not accept this (until now) because I was hoping that another answer would show up that would tell me how to do this.
