How to switch from a local user account/profile , to using an Azure AD connected account/profile?
Thanks, Murray. And once I do this, will that then give me the prompt after the next reboot to enter my Office 365 email address, and not just a username, to log onto the Surface Pro and that will take me into my "Azure AD" specific profile on the device?
Yes it will - Be sure you login with the account you specified when you joined to the device to Azure AD - or added any other accounts to the machine that you want logging in. I use this on a good number of my devices.

MurrayWallForteI also followed the same steps and entered office email address which is my UPN as an user and it didnt accept it saying its not a microsoft account, I tried all other available option none of them worked.

Hi navn1620
I had the same issue, you should add the account again in the work or school account panel, and be sure to select the Azure AD option. It should all work fine then. Hope this helps!
EDIT:
After doing the step above you can log out of your current account en then select the option to sign in with a different account, just sign in with the credentials of the user and it should work.
