  1. Can we use different keys for the same Microsoft account?


    Hi,I have a laptop which came along with an OEM version of Windows 11, and a desktop which I'm planning to buy a pro version of Windows 11 from a retailer. I'll use the same Microsoft account to sign in both of them. Is it okay to use different Windows keys for the same Microsoft account? And which key should I connect my Microsft account to if I want to replace the outdated machine with a new one without buying a new Windows version? Thank you.

    :)

  4. Can we use different keys for the same Microsoft account?

    Trying to switch to Microsoft account from local, unable to...

    I tried that, more than once. I go thru the complete procedure of getting a new Microsoft account password, then when I reach the final step to key in the Windows password, I try my NEW Microsoft account password, and I get the same message-invalid password. No luck.

    Any other suggestions.
