How do I sign in to Windows with my Google account?
If your company uses Google and your IT admin turned on Windows sign-in with Google, you sign in to your Windows work device with the same email and password you use for Gmail. You don't need a separate Microsoft password.
Your password stays with Google. When you sign in, Windows sends you to the familiar Google sign-in page, and Google checks your password.
Not sure whether this applies to you? Ask your IT admin before you set up your laptop.
