  1. Can I add new devices to my MS account?


    I use the same Microsoft account on three computers and I’d like to add another one. Can I add a new device to my Microsoft account or I have to remove one of them to be able to add another one?

    Thank you.

    :)

    Odd change in MS account list of devices


    I was just checking my list of devices in my MS account, and I noticed two od things.

    1) My Hyper-V virtual machines are just listed generically as "virtual machines" whereas they always used to be listed as "Hyper-V virtual machines". I liked it that way so I could tell Hyper-V machines separately from VMWARE VMS.

    2) One of my VMs is now still listed in my MS account, even though I changed it to a local account. Previously device was always removed if you changed from MSA to local account. This is a good move assuming it is a change, not a glitch as this means the digital licence link will be retained if you changed to a local account for any reason.

    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
