How to Configure a Windows PC for Work or School

Configure your Windows PC for enterprise or education environments using Azure Active Directory and professional account management protocols.

1. Access Account Settings. Open the Start menu and select the Settings icon. Navigate to Accounts in the left-hand sidebar, then click on Access work or school.
2. Initiate Connection. Locate the Connect button next to the Add a work or school account label. Clicking this launches the Microsoft Entra ID authentication window.
3. Authenticate Credentials. Enter your professional email address and password when prompted. Complete any secondary verification requests via your organization's multi-factor authentication (MFA) provider.
4. Synchronize Policies. Windows will begin applying security policies and certificates unique to your organization. Wait for the progress bar to complete without interrupting the network connection.
5. Confirm Device Enrollment. Return to the Access work or school menu to verify that your account appears in the list. Click the account name to view Info, Disconnect, or Sync options.
