My daughter's school took over my personal Microsoft account

I mean, this sounds to me exactly like what happens when trying to mix normal Google accounts and Google Workspace ones, especially if the admin enabling all the service is not yourself. It's not just Microsoft, this is a problem all these service providers have because they can't cope with hybrid use

With Google you change the ID in the URL and you're in whatever account you want. All the urls usually have /u/<id> where ID starts at 0 with the first account you're logged in into, 1 the second etc.

But what happens when you are using a Google product not served from the browser?

I've got a number of Google accounts, two work ones (associated with different domains with distinct permissions and access to things, using drive, gdocs, Gmail and GCP with both) and a number of personal ones (some of which are associated with a Google workspace that I use for email under my personal domain) and it all works just fine for the most part. Groups and GCP console can sometimes get stuck on one account but Chrome with profiles can side step that one.

Doing the same thing with MS accounts has been an utter nightmare by comparison.
