    Account has already been added to this PC


    Hi everybody,


    I'm presently installing accounts on the new PC for the family.


    I created an account for my daughter but it was bugging when I tried to add connect with her windows hotmail account.


    So I decided to completely deleted her account to create it again.

    Then start the problems, when I want to add a new account wirth her hotmail address:

    Here is the message I get ==> "Unfortunately there was a problem. *** Email address is removed for privacy *** has already been added to this PC."


    How should I proceed to:

    - Properly recreate an account with her hotmail address

    or

    - Properly erease all related information from the PC so that I can afterwards create her account again.


    Thanks a lot for your support and feedback.

    Best regards.

    :)

    Remove account


    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
      Code:
      net user test /del

    Adding PC to Microsoft account list of devices

    Hello,

    I go into Microsoft account and look under list of devices and it tells me that there are no devices associated with the Microsoft Account. Really? That is strange because the PC I am using is signed in on the Microsoft account. Because the device is not
    listed, it is causing problems with some apps and stuff.

    From support around adding devices, it would seem you can only add win 10 devices? So is this why my PC is invisible - because it is running 8.1?

    By the way, I have tried waiting for 30 days and it does not automatically appear. I have also signed in with a local and then redone with a Microsoft account and that does nothing either.

    Any suggestions please?

    regards,
