If you’ve accidentally synced a Microsoft Account over the top of an old Local Account, how do you restore all the previous Local Account settings? When I switched to the local account, it has left all of the personalised settings from the other Microsoft Account…?

In this article you fail to make clear the distinction between “Switching to a local account” and “Making a local account the login account”. You can add accounts and “Switch” between them without changing the login account.
