You're Windows logon is an email address?
  A Windows email address logon(Gmail) is linked and is a MSFT account.
  That MSA remains even if the logon is optionally switched to a Local 
Account.

  Another route to use a Gmail email as a Windows sign-in is available in 
the Microsoft Account's online features.
  - i.e. an alternate email address can be added to sign-in/logon to Windows.
