Windows 10: Restoring a new PC with a device listed under my account

My old laptop died and I would like to restore my new PC with its settings, files, etc. How do I do this? I logged into my account and set up Windows on this new laptop and it is listed as another device.Thanks,Adren

Microsoft Account devices list.

Thank you again but thats not the problem either.

I should be able to login to my Microsoft online account from any of my 4 PC's and see the exact same devices listed i.e. all 4 PC's should show up within the account devices list but they dont. Each PC displays a different device list.

 

Adding PC to Microsoft account list of devices

Hello,

I go into Microsoft account and look under list of devices and it tells me that there are no devices associated with the Microsoft Account. Really? That is strange because the PC I am using is signed in on the Microsoft account. Because the device is not
listed, it is causing problems with some apps and stuff.

From support around adding devices, it would seem you can only add win 10 devices? So is this why my PC is invisible - because it is running 8.1?

By the way, I have tried waiting for 30 days and it does not automatically appear. I have also signed in with a local and then redone with a Microsoft account and that does nothing either.

Any suggestions please?

regards,

 

Microsoft Account devices list.

I have 4 PC's all running W10 Pro 21H1. All PC's use local accounts but have in the past used my MS account to login, so why is it that depending on which PC I use to login to my MS account on line i see different devices listed.

For example login from PC1 I can see PC1, PC2 and PC3. Login from PC2 I can see PC1 and PC2, login from PC3 I can see PC1, PC2 and PC3, login from PC4 I can see PC2 and PC4. If I login using my android tablet I only see PC2 and PC4.

Should all devices appear in the devices list no matter which PC I login with?

A update........ I have checked all 4 PC's are signing into Windows Store with same account which they are but this evening when I login to my MS account on PC1 the device list only shows PC2!
