Introduction:

Few users prefer to change administrator email on Windows 10 for a variety of reasons. Microsoft does not provide any direct option in this concern. The only workaround is to first switch to the local account and then log in using the email you want.
For example, my Windows phone and other devices are synchronized with a specific Microsoft account. But my Windows 10 PC is connected with another account. Therefore, I want to change the administrator's email address and I want to use the same account on all devices.

So here, for your convenience, we will divide the guide into two sections. Follow them in the given sequence.
