Is there any way around this. I just want to restore my old content (pics & video's) and leave my WP as it is.
P.S. I also tried to recover old deleted content on my WP using data recovery software but the software cannot access the device.
Any help and/or suggestions are very much appreaciated!
There's no way around it, that back up is backed up to your old account and you can't just move it over to the new one.
Any documents, pictures and other content in OneDrive can be moved to the new account manually though.
