When I try to add a new Office 365 email to my outlook I get the error below. I think it's because of my "Work or school account" which I want to remove. I'm not sure how my email was signed up for this second account. I set up this computer for home use only, I won't be using any of the Microsoft Azure features.
My question is, what will happen when I remove my “work account” and leave my Microsoft account? Everything is backed up on Onedrive, I just don’t know what to expect because when I went to remove it, it warned me about losing data and settings.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I'm having the same issue for days now and I can't find a solution.
I am on the phone with Microsoft support for hours and days and whatever tricks we tried do not seem to produce any outcome.
