Windows 10: Microsoft Account and Syncing

I have often wondered what happens when you upgrade Windows with regards to syncing settings etc.

For Windows 10 I don't want to find that I am syncing settings from older versions of Windows or from Windows 10 beta.

So how do I ensure that for the first install of Windows 10 I get a clean default settings and then after that sync the Windows 10 settings from then on?

Outlook account not syncing with microsoft account

Hi,

Kindly give me the solution for this.

 

Outlook account not syncing with microsoft account

Is there any error it show while adding outlook account?



are you using same account on another windows phone as primary account?

 

Turn off sync on previous iteration of 10, go to Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online. and:

 

In addition, on all machines using the same MS Account as a Windows sign-in account, turn the individual sync settings off.

 

Personally I like the idea of my settings being sync'd for installation. My first experience with it was:

I got my laptop in early 2011 and it came with Win7. In 2014 I wanted to buy Win8(.1) here in town, but there wasn't any install media to buy(I went to all PC shops and a big chain store called Media Markt but no one had any).

So when Microsoft offered Win10 to test ride/preview, I jumped on the bandwagon in October, and installed it/played with it.

I eventually bought me a desktop with Win8.1 and on first install(had never used it before mind you) while setting up the desktop and updating-- I had the same desktop. You can imagine my surprise and glee at having a (somewhat) familiar desktop to start from.

I feel this is one of the greatest innovations Microsoft has ever implemented

 

Thanks guys. I fully plan to use syncing once I'm settled in Windows 10. I just wanted the full default 10 experience *Biggrin

I currently have syncing off on 8.1
