A private browser window can be used to log into a website such as office.com (the Office 365 system) without the browser picking up a different account.
If you are having difficulty singing in to Office 365 with another account (such as your student account if you are logged into the PC with a staff account, or you have a second Office 365 account) for example, the private browser window will ignore any other account details. Another option is to use a browser for each account, eg Chrome for your Derby account and Edge for your other account.
