Sign into Windows 10 with Office 365 account?

Is there a way that we can configure Windows 10 so that users can sign into the PC using their Office 365 account? We have some staff using shared PCs at a temporary branch office. We don't want to go through all the trouble of adding a server, creating a domain, etc. Thanks!

  • 2. Can multiple different Office 365 users log into the same PC?

     

    If all that users are in the same tenant, yes they can login into the same PC. Same like local AD, you can login into any computer in the same domain.

      Salvatore Biscari , this link talks about setting it up during the first run (FRX). We have a Windows 10 home pc that was updated to windows 10 pro. Do you know how to do the same thing on an upgraded pc?

       

      Thanks

        ashhar45 I think it's just a matter of going to the "Access Work or School" settings page and choosing "Connect." I think you need to use an account with Office 365 admin rights. Once that's done, your normal Office 365 user should be able to login.

      Excellent. Thank you both. A few follow-ups...

       

      1. I assume this will NOT work with Windows 10 home edition?

       

      2. Can multiple different Office 365 users log into the same PC?

       

      3. Is there anything I need to do to configure Azure in my Office 365 account?

       

      4. The article that Salvator linked to shows how to dō this for First Run Experience. Is there a similar how-to for a PC that was previously setup without connecting to Azure AD?

       

      Thanks!!

        You can synchronize your AD Domain en Azure with your Office 365 in Azure. Then you can set time for sichronization. In that way, you can reset your pwd in AD and after the synchro time, the Office Account can have the same pwd than AD account.
  • Yeap,
    You could use the W10 feature of joining a Azure AD domain and add your users' PC to the Azure AD domain in your Office 365 subscription
