Checking your Microsoft account login in Windows 10 doesn’t automatically lock your PC permanently. Your device remains accessible unless you disable it. If your account is compromised, your personal data could be exposed, so consider securing your credentials and enabling strong passwords.

Have you prepared any specific inquiries? It seems like this might not be relevant.

It won't work. You have the option to switch back to a local account or use several Microsoft accounts on the same device. The situation varies. If your password changes, you'll lose access to sign in.

Windows 10 offers an option to either employ a standard user account or sign in each time with a Microsoft account, which is tied to that account. This setup keeps the system secured unless you enter your Microsoft password or the pre-set pin connected to it. Assume someone gains access to the Microsoft account and can connect remotely—they would have full control over all data on the machine.

EDIT: If the password had been changed, they wouldn't be able to log in without using a recovery method, though I haven't observed that yet.

You can update your Microsoft account username by logging into your account and navigating to the settings or profile section, where you should be able to modify your display name. If you need further help, check the official Microsoft support resources.

Logging into a Microsoft account has always been standard. For free upgrades, having a Microsoft account is required to activate Windows 10—it links the license to your profile. Buying a full license works the same as before. Security risks arise only when you share your password with someone else. If you lose your password, simply use another device and reset it; there’s no need to fear being locked out permanently.
