  1. 2 laptops 1 Microsoft account


    My wife got a new laptop and log into her account. Now all her stuff from her work laptop has also gone to her new laptop including some of her boss stuff. She uses the same email on both computers. Is there a way for her personal laptop to not have the work stuff without deleting it off the work laptop?

    :)

  2. Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
    I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
    Step 1:
    Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.

  3. How can I delete 1 of the 2 laptop devices shown on my Microsoft account.

    How can I delete 1 of the 2 laptop devices shown on my Microsoft account. All queries and searches indicate that I should select the "manage" option and "remove laptop"
    should be shown, however, the only option available is "Contact Support". Even through all my searching the step-by-step instructions show outdated screenshots of menus that no longer exist on your website anymore,
    so they are obviously no longer helpful to achieve this goal. Can you suggest how I might be able to delete the device from my account as that laptop has been replaced by this one I have now. Identical to the other one without the touch screen and a different
    storage hard drive.
