Windows 10: Add non-Microsoft device to my Microsoft account.

I bought a new non-Microsoft laptop. I am trying to add this laptop to the list of my devices. I cannot find a way to perform this function.

Unknown devices on my Microsoft account

Hello Flemmingk,

Could these other devices be from friends that you may have signed in to your Microsoft account on for something?

Either way, you can remove these devices.

Afterwards to be safe, I would recommend to change the password of your Microsoft account, and enable two-step verification if you haven't already.

Unknown devices on my Microsoft account

Thanks Brink
I get different reactions every time I try to delete a device, but the result is that I cannot remove the devices.
I'll go back to local accounts and delete the Microsoft account.
I changed to Microsoft account because I wanted to use the Continue on PC feature. This feature doesn't work so I think that I'll just forget about it.
Thanks for your interest.

 

Too many devices in Microsoft Account

Hello JJ,

Yep, that would be the reason why the PC is listed more than once as a device for your Microsoft account.

Each different computer name will be listed as a separate device.

The tutorial below can help show you how to remove the devices you want.
