Windows 10: Separate microsoft accounts?

I run a desktop pc and two laptops. Each has a legal, registered copy of windows 10. Do I need a separate Microsoft account for each machine?

Separate 2 computers from 1 Microsoft account

Hello,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



As you want to remove the Microsoft account from one of the two computers, I suggest to convert the Microsoft account to a local account on one of the computers. This will separate two computers from the same Microsoft account.



Please refer this article
Switch your Windows 10 device to a local account.



However, if you don’t want to convert the user account to a local account, then you need to use a different Microsoft email ID to separate two computers.



To use a different Microsoft email account on one of the computer, you first need to convert the current account to a local account by following the same steps provided in the article above, then click on
Sign-in with Microsoft account instead option from settings and enter the different Microsoft credentials that you wish to use.



Hope it helps.



Thanks,
