    I want to leave my Last name off my Microsoft Acct...so it won't show up on my Welcome...


    I want to leave OFF my last name on my Microsoft Acct. As I only use this account to play games. I don't LIKE my last name showing up on my "Welcome Screen"... It NEVER did until I got a Microsoft Acct. just so I could download games from the Micro-store. What can I do to correct this?


    Thank You

    :)

    2 computers same acct...please help


    Hi, I have 2 computers in my home. Both computers have the the user name and password when logging in. Also when I go to my Microsoft acct. both are listed under devices. I would like to have it so both devices have there own log in. If I delete the other computer listed in my acct. would this solve the problem? Also, would I be able to log into the other computer since it was deleted and how would I then create a new username and password? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!!

    MS Acct vs Local acct


    I think you can take extra mesurments like two-step authentication, but as you said, using an MS Acct needs you to be more carefull than a local one.
