Windows 10: 1 microsoft account, 2 devices, 2 different windows version: I got trouble now.

Hi,


I just bought a new laptop and I decide to use both. I set up the new one with same Microsoft acc. The old one I have Win 10 pro (free upgrade from win 8 or 8.1, I can't make sure, as I have for years), the new one I use Win 10 single language (which start with the laptop). For the some first days, it going well until a day, I don't know what I did with the new one or Microsoft acc, I found out a msg in my old one: I need to activate windows. Tried to troubleshoot, it said I have different windows version (the new laptop version), need to change production key (PK). I do confuse, what should I do now? Activate my old laptop with the new one PK, if I do so, what happen to my new one? or I downgrade my old one to get back the previous version? or just leave it there? Anyone, please tell me what I can do?


Thank in advance.


Tuc Nguyen.

1 Microsoft account on 2 devices

If I sign into my Microsoft account on 2 different devices, what all will be the same about them? Will any apps or downloads from one device go to the other or something?

2 phones , 2 different contact in 1 account possible?

I have a samsung i900 and a B7330. The i900 is for personal use thus the contacts in that phones are different from B7330 which i use it for working purposes.

When I upload the 2 phones via my live.com account, Myphone combined the 2 contacts into 1. Is it possible to seperate them by the phone model?
