  1. What do the icons under your device mean in you MS Account Device tab webpage?


    I know one is my user or MS Account picture but the other looks like either a family group or the homegroup icon? When I hover the cursor over it it says my PC name but why does it have this icon?


    Cheers

    :)

    Odd change in MS account list of devices

    I was just checking my list of devices in my MS account, and I noticed two od things.

    1) My Hyper-V virtual machines are just listed generically as "virtual machines" whereas they always used to be listed as "Hyper-V virtual machines". I liked it that way so I could tell Hyper-V machines separately from VMWARE VMS.

    2) One of my VMs is now still listed in my MS account, even though I changed it to a local account. Previously device was always removed if you changed from MSA to local account. This is a good move assuming it is a change, not a glitch as this means the digital licence link will be retained if you changed to a local account for any reason.
