Hi,

Family sharing could solve your question.

Use a Virtual Machine:

As of this date, you cannot combine iCloud Accounts. Only one Apple ID can associated per device.


You can, however, use a virtual machine, and then run a separate Apple ID off of that, while your macOS is running itself in the background. Virtual Machine Programs are VMWare Fusion and Parallels.

Yes, thank you. I went through family sharing and invited myself to join (through the other email address). The problem was I had to leave some page/group before I could join. It was a bit confusing. I took the risk of clicking “leave” and it allowed me to resend and then accept the invitation. Not as easy as I thought it would be!
