    Activating two PCs using one account


    Hello everyone.

    I have an Acer Aspire E1-572G notebook running windows 10. I upgraded it about two years ago from windows 8.1.

    I also have an old ASUS P5B SE running windows 7.

    I read somewhere that windows 10 works better than windows 7 on old PCs; So I want to install windows 10 on it.

    My question is: If I install windows 10 on that, Can I activate that using that account I used for My notebook?

    :)

    Not Tracking Web Browsing Activity on Child Account

    Hello,

    I had already read that article and tried all those steps mentioned before posting on this forum. Nothing worked. I am still not able to see the web activity on my child's account.

    I have already verified that the Family Safety Service is connected to my PC and that my child has the PC listed as a device on their account. My child's account is listed as "child" on my PC account settings. When I sign into the child's account, I have
    verified that Family Safe Monitoring is running because the icon is in the task bar.

    This response was not helpful, because as I stated in my original post, I had already read several articles on troubleshooting this issue and nothing worked.

    Can you offer me other suggestions that are not mentioned in that Wiki Article?
