    I was thinking about linking my microsoft account to my windows 10 pc home.

    I was wondering if my Microsoft account was linked to my computer and the Microsoft account got hacked, could it access my computer and hack it or steal info or steal the edition of windows

    And also can the Microsoft account be hacked from the pc

    thank you in advance

    :)

    Deregister Windows 10 on stolen PC?

    Another MS Rep that has no idea what they are talking about.... I have a couple of computers that were originally activated with the same product key - activating the second computer has no affect on the previously activated computer.

    Deregister Windows 10 on stolen PC?

    Thanks for the additional suggestions. I did chat with a Microsoft rep today, and they advised me to activate the product key on my new PC which will deactivate the license on the stolen one. I asked if they could deactivate the stolen key right now, but they said they cannot.
