    Too many devices in Microsoft Account

    Hello JJ, how do i separate the account from my device? :)

    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.
