  1. Two devices on account


    I have two devices on my account. I go into Microsoft account and click devices. Both devices are shown.However when I click each of the devices the information for one of the devices is duplicated and is the same for both. Information for my older device is shown in both.Very confusing - I needed to get my bit locker key for my newer device and what appears is the information for the older device. Hope someone can give me some idea what is going on.Thanks!

    :)
