    How to add my windows 11 desktop PC as a device to my microsoft account


    Dear Sir/Madam,I have bought a legal Windows 11 retail copy for +/- 200 EUR for my desktop PC see attached pictures. First I installed it on a 2 terabyte SSD NVMe drive, but after a couple of days I decided to return the SSD because I did not need such a large drive after all. Before I formatted the 2 TB SSD, I uninstalled the product key from the Windows 11 and formatted the disk. In a popup box it said the product key was uninstalled successfully, which I checked, because after that the computer said that the product key was not there anymore.Now I installed my Windows 11 on the same compu

    Microsoft Account devices list.

    Thank you again but thats not the problem either.

    I should be able to login to my Microsoft online account from any of my 4 PC's and see the exact same devices listed i.e. all 4 PC's should show up within the account devices list but they dont. Each PC displays a different device list.

    Unknown devices on my Microsoft account

    Thanks Brink
    I get different reactions every time I try to delete a device, but the result is that I cannot remove the devices.
    I'll go back to local accounts and delete the Microsoft account.
    I changed to Microsoft account because I wanted to use the Continue on PC feature. This feature doesn't work so I think that I'll just forget about it.
    Thanks for your interest.

    Too many devices in Microsoft Account

    Hello JJ, How to add my windows 11 desktop PC as a device to my microsoft account :)

    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.
