How to switch from a local user account/profile , to using an Azure AD connected account/profile?

MurrayWallForteThank you a million times over! It worked! The users in our small business can log in to Windows using their ".onmicrosoft.com" account (for Microsoft Business 365).
tcarruth @Murray_Wall standard user is not able to open the setting or control panel on the azureAD account. Do you have any suggestions to solve the issue?
- ManikandanBaskaran03 you bring up a good point. In my administrator role I shall be setting up the company new users on new equipment.
I'm not yet at the point of converting existing users. Some use their own Microsoft Consumer Accounts to log on to Windows. Others use their own local account, and still others use a shared Microsoft Consumer Account that was created under the business domain (before Microsoft disallowed that). It's a mess.
What makes it even more messy is that to switch them to logging on with their .onmicrosoft.com accounts, is that they will lose all their saved info in their browsers because new profiles will get created with the new accounts. I have not yet found an easy way to "port" or "copy" Edge profile settings from one user to another. If you know then please share.
