    Account device limit reached


    Not sure where to put this but I have just received an email from ms saying I have reached the device limit for my ms account after installing win 10. On the list is a vm which I have removed and a 64 bit version of win 8.1 which is on another account. What is this all about says I am limited in the store.

    :)

    device limit reached!

    Can someone please confirm what the actual device limit is for windows?

    I was of the impression it was now 2000. I have the new app store logo and yet again I find I cannot even PAY for something because I have reached 10 devices.

    I have been through my account and deleted computers that no longer exist but the fact is I have more than 10.

    What is the limit please, I am sick to death of running into this issue.

    The article does say there is no official announcement and not everyone sees the increase. I for one still have a limit of 10 devices on my MS account. No telling if the article is correct or not.

    Log into OneDrive and check the list of PC's you have installed W10 on since becoming an insider, then just delete a few, (or all)

    The link given in the email was accounts.microsoft.com/devices/store and its still there. I added one account for remote desktop use for windows insider but its still showing, it shouldnt be there. MS tech told me to ignore the email.

    I think you got good advice, ignore the e-mail. I deleted a bunch of laptops and virtual machines. I guess Mother does not like it when you just delete the virtual machines or reformat your laptop SSD. *Cool
