  1. Is it a good idea to use the same account on multiple laptops?


    My wife and I are local historians and genealogists. We both have laptops with multiple external drives and accessories that we prefer to leave at home. At the same time, we have lightweight, stripped down machines that we use for travel. We prefer to use the same MicroSoft accounts, etc. on both to keep it simple and make sure that all of our cloud based research is available no matter where we are. Also, we have run into problems with syncing OneDrive if we use different MS accounts.Is there a problem with this, or is there a way to access a single OneDrive account with different logins?

    :)

    Multiple System Specs?

    Im sure some people do have more then 1 computer. I think listing multiple specs is a good idea.
