    License status on device tied to bios if i update; other device on account lists my license...


    The outdated bios/uefi on one of my desktop pc's is tied to the windows license in the system, effectively removing the windows license that it came with. I have a total of 3 devices on my Microsoft account, with my other desktop listing my windows 10 license as linked to my login email here, i believe. If I update the bios on this desktop, will I have to purchase a new windows license out of pocket or am I covered under the windows license being linked? **I do not see the same message about my license being linked on this device to my login as I do on my other desktop device, since that co

    I'm having the same issue.

    But I also have a device named "PC" in the device list now. It's just PC. I guess it appeared after the Anniversary update.

    Before the update, I could see my computer on the MSA device list, even though I've been using local account. But now it appears only if I login to W10 using my Microsoft account. If I switch to local account, it disappears. But the "PC" stays there whether I use MSA or local acc.

    So what's that "PC"? Any ideas?

    It's also not cool that MS forcing people to use MS account to login their PCs. Activated devices were always in the device list even if you use local account before that so called update.
