    Windows Licence bound to wrong email/ms account, how to change?


    Hello There :


    So I have a slight issue in my office. We have bought new tablets for our cash registers and the checkout interface of our store. Now some external IT dude did it's installation and stupidly used his own Email Address to create a Microsoft Account during Windows' initial Setup.


    That's of course a no-go and I need to get these "licenses" back.


    Do I have a chance of doing so in the first place the Windows' came preinstalled on the tablets? And what would be the right steps to take?


    I don't need necessarily a Microsoft Account for the cash registers tablets. A local Account would do, but maybe I need one now so I'll be able to transfer the license data from the IT dudes Account to a company Account?

    OR Can I just remove the device in the Microsoft Account from this IT dude? Then remove the windows account from the tablet and simply add a new Account bound to a Microsoft Account? Are there any other steps necessary to get my licenses back? Or is it not possible at all as the licenses came of course with the tablets? In that case I'm just gonna send him an invoice for 3 new Windows Licences oO

    Thanks for any help on this matter ;

    :)

    Unauthorized Emails from my account?

    It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

    Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.

    email account hacked. please help

    Also may I suggest you change email accounts to one of the following.....

    Gmail
    Outlook

    The reason is they both use "Step two verification". This style of verification means even if a hacker gets your password they cannot log in to your account. You see every time someone try's to log in that hasn't been verified you will get a text or a phone call giving you a final code to log in. Its very easy and simple to setup also. The great thing is once you setup your Email application with a specific "application password" from that account you never have to log in again AND your account is protected from being logged in from foreign entities.

    I like the new outlook personally however Gmail is also damn good. Gmail also has an IP tracker that allows you to see WHERE the account has been logged in from. Anyway let us know if you wanna change over and have any questions. We will be happy to help and welcome to TPU!
