I'm running windows 10 pro on a desktop. Windows is linked to my Microsoft account online so my computer password is the same as my Microsoft account password. My local domain (corporate policy) requires that I set my windows password to expire every 90 days. That is about to happen and I'm going to be forced to set a new windows password. When I change my windows password what will happen to the link to my Microsoft account?
1. will it also reset my Microsoft account password online (that's ideal)? OR
2. will is only change my local password and break the link with my Microsoft account and thus I can no longer use my Microsoft account to get into my computer if I get locked out? OR
3. Something else?
This is particularly important because I have other Microsoft devices (surface Pro 6) which is ALSO linked to my microsoft account and so any changes would then affect that device too.
