    Adding a laptop to Microsoft account


    My daughter has just bought a new laptop and I want to register it to my account. "Add device" only lets me add Surface, x-box etc. only Microsoft devices. How do I add her PC?

    Adding a Microsoft user account to laptop

    Thank you for your response. Let's get your Microsoft account connected. Follow the steps below:

    Step 1: Boot your computer in
    Safe Mode    .

    Step 2: Press Windows + X then select
    Command Prompt (Admin)    .

    Step 3: Type this, net user username password /add

    Note: Replace username and password with the
    Microsoft account credentials.

    (The above step will help you create a new user account.)

    Now restart your computer and check if you can login using the same user account.If you're able to login do the following:

    • Go to C:\Users\(Your-Corrupted-Profile-Name)\
    • Copy all files except three files:

      NtUser.dat

      NtUser.ini

      NtUser.log
    • Go to C:\Users\(New-User-Profile-name)\
    • Paste all those copied files here.

    Let us know how it goes.
