Windows 10: multiple MS accounts - need just one!

I must have 5 or more Microsoft accounts. The problem is that when I cranked up a new laptop, I cannot transfer the Edge Favorite Bar items to the new machine.


The tab names are mostly there except one that I REALLY need, it is a folder that has 17 URL links.


Along the way I got a MS Account that I know I never added. It is the first 6 digits of my phone number.


Once I open Edge, I can find the links as transferred, but it is a group that I don't use anymore.


How do I know what Account my laptop is accessing. I suspect the one I want and the new Edge the beta from 1/15/20, are two different accounts.

1. How do I determine my actual account on either machine?
2. Can I combine/compile all my accounts together?
3. Is there a way to transfer those names and URLs a different way?

Thank you in advance. I am so frustrated.


Pat I once did teach MS programs - 12 years ago. LOL that makes me a relic

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:
   
   Code:

Multiple Keys associated with MS Account?


Thanks again for your time in replying.
I think we should forget about this discussion, as we seem to be at cross purposes.
You have taken what I said out of context. I know how the activation has worked over the years - particularly in relation to re-installing and changing hardware, but that was/is not my point.
My point is that I believed that the rules have changed in Anniversary regarding changing hardware and licensing activation. I was wrongly under the impression that MS had changed the rules to link a key to a MSA account rather than hardware. I was clearly wrong!
I was saying in my previous post, that I would like to see MS adopt a similar approach as many other developers, i.e. attach the key to the user MSA and allow one install on one key. So, for example, one would de-activate on one device and re-activate the key on a new device linked via the user's MSA and registered key. Inputting a key would relate to a user and not hardware.
But, that is not important as my opinion has no bearing on MS's activation policy, and I only mentioned it in passing!
I repeat what I said in my previous post, I am interested in your statement 'I can transfer a license from a device listed on my Microsoft Account'. That seems to suggest what I was thinking in the first place! How is that done exactly? Other posts here suggest that devices can be deleted from the account and it makes no difference.
