  1. how to access another PC's HDD when the remote pc is using a microsoft account for login...


    I want to access some files from my family PC downstairs from my work Laptop upstairs.

    I now use my Microsoft account credentials to login to the family PC, previously i would have gone to familypc\user and then password however putting in familypc\*** Email address is removed for privacy *** yes my microsoft account is linked to gmail and microsoft account password same as i would use to login to the Family PC it doesnt authenticate me...

    i have tried various things but when i try other login options i notice that it changes the domain being logged into to gmail.com which seems unlikely to work...

    All suggestions apart from using onedrive instead welcome.

    All PCs using Win 10

    :)

  3. Can't login to my windows 10 PC

    Hi,

    Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.


    • Are you trying to login to Microsoft account or local account?

    • If its Microsoft account are you able to login using the web interface?
    I suggest you to use the on-screen keyboard and try to login. Follow the steps below:

    Click on the Ease of Access icon at the right bottom of the screen and select On-screen keyboard and check if issue persists.

    Please get back to us with the results of the above instructions.

    Office 365 Account for Remote Desktop Access

    I am trying to login to my Windows 10 computer using Microsoft's Remote Desktop client (RDP). I am able to login using a local account, but, I am not able to login using my O365 business account. I have checked the remote access settings, and my O365 account
    is listed as being able to login remotely. What am I missing?
