Windows 10: Microsoft Account on 2 Laptops

Does Microsoft allow for one account on two laptops for sign-in's? As I recently got a new laptop but am having issues signing into the old laptop with my Microsoft account as I would like to sync the settings and stuff. I would also like to continue using the old laptop with the Microsoft account.

Change Microsoft Account Details in Administrator Account


Hi Daryl, welcome to the Ten Forums.

It's quite easy in fact, simply switch the account in question first to a local account, then switch back to a Microsoft account, this time using your wife's MS account credentials.

Tutorials:

• Step 1: Local Account - Switch to in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
• Step 2: Microsoft Account - Switch to in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

Notice that before doing this you need to remove the new additional MS account on the PC, the one you created with her credentials. Windows allows only one user account for each email address, if the new account exists you cannot switch the original administrator account to an MS account using the same email address.
