How do I change the account on my Lenovo laptop?

1. Open Settings: Click the Start menu icon (usually in the bottom-left corner of the screen).
2. Access Account Settings: Select Settings from the Start menu options.
3. Navigate to Accounts: In the Settings window, click on Accounts.
4. Initiate Switch: On the Accounts page, look for the option that says Sign in with a Microsoft account instead and click it.
