Will I lose my files if I change my Apple ID on my mac?

I've recently been allowed to borrow a MacBook Pro from an organization, there are files on the Mac that I need but i need to add my own personal Apple ID, but there is a old Apple ID that is deleted. If I change the Apple ID, (even though it has been deleted) does it delete files that are on the Mac?

The only files that will be gone will be files stored on iCloud. All of the other data should be there to say.
