Windows 10: If I remove a device from my microsoft account, can I log back in into my account from that...

I recently purchased a new laptop and during set up, logged in with my personal Microsoft account. On my desktop, I am logged in with my business account. I would like to log out of my business account on my desktop, login with my personal account and do a back up. Then restore that back up onto my laptop in order to bring the files and apps from my desktop over to my laptop. Is this possible? I’m just wary of removing the desktop from my business account if its not possible to log back in to that business account on my desktop once it’s removed.

Remove account

I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
To delete an account, follow these steps:

1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

 

Unknown devices on my Microsoft account

Hello Flemmingk,

Could these other devices be from friends that you may have signed in to your Microsoft account on for something?

Either way, you can remove these devices.

Afterwards to be safe, I would recommend to change the password of your Microsoft account, and enable two-step verification if you haven't already.

Cannot remove devices from Microsoft account

Hi Shelley, thanks for your question. I'm Graeme, a Microsoft Community expert and fellow user.

You'll need to get your son to log into his Microsoft account to remove the device. Here are the steps:

- Log into the Microsoft Account associated with the device at account.microsoft.com

- Click View Account, then Devices.

- You'll see a list of associated devices. You can select and remove devices here.

Hopefully this is the solution you're after. If it doesn't work, please let me know and I'll see what else we can try! Thanks!
