    Two Games with the same name.


    Why does Windows have a problem with video games with the same name? EA has two different versions of the video game Need for Speed Most Wanted. But that is all they have in common. The first Need for Speed Most Wanted was developed by Black Box Games and was released in 2005. The second version was developed by Criterion Games and released in 2012. But when you look in Add/Remove Programs it only shows 1 version of the game.

    Unable to add two names with the same number

    Well it is propably the same person with two different names in the contact list so it doesn't really matter which name the phone shows. Showing the first one is in my opinion already beter than showing only the number. Or you could have it show both names,
    separated with a comma. Or you could ask the user to specify which name will be shown.

    I migrated to a new Lumia phone. Have problem with two same name/file/folder contact lists for outlook ( had two lumia phones before). Would like to merge these into one folder so that I can view all the contacts at the same time

    Felix,

    Changing the registered owner has no effect on the accounts and their associated SIDs. I changed mine a long time ago, just for the fun of it. Shows on WINVER command like this.

    Since you just did the clean install a couple of days ago, I would suggest the simplest and cleanest way now would be to do another clean install. This time with the Internet connected since it seems using the MS account is your preferred method.
