Windows 10: Windows Live Account and Microsoft 365 on Desktop and Laptop

Hello:While Microsoft 365 and Entra ID take their seats, my Office Accounts seem to confuse on logins and sign-ups. For example, today I attempted to buy Business Basic 365. However, when I put in the same email address, I use for my Windows 11 Pro Desktop, the wizard would not proceed unless I put in a different email address. My email address is attached to a Work and School account as I already have an installation of Outlook 365 w/ Exchange. My Windows 11 Pro Laptop actually sees a personal email address that potentially could cause data loss depending on the next big breach new

Microsoft Closing Down Windows Live and Zune Brands

Also known as "what comes standard on Windows Phone 7." It is becoming more and more abundantly clear that Windows 8's goal is to merge desktop, laptop, tablet, and phone OS into one. I smell a disaster approaching.

At first, I thought yes. Then I thought about it and concluded no. GFWL is more than just a name--it is a certification/branding program. If anything GFWL in Windows 8 might be renamed to Xbox Live or something: same service, different name. Windows Phone 7 more or less does this and all the above changes pretty much mirror Windows Phone 7.

 

Microsoft Closing Down Windows Live and Zune Brands

Microsoft is reportedly killing off two of its service brands, Windows Live and Zune. The two will be restructured and amalgamated with Windows 8 and its store. Windows Live has been a collection of optional services bound to the MSN/Live ID for Windows 7 that provides communication (Windows Live Messenger), calendar/planner (Windows Live Calendar), contacts, photo-organizer; Zune Music and Video player join them on the chopping block. These services will be instead come to be known as:

• Microsoft Account (Windows Live ID)
• Mail (Windows Live Mail)
• Calendar (Windows Live Calendar)
• People (Windows Live Contacts)
• Photos (Windows Live Photo Gallery)
• Music (Zune Music Player)
• Video (Zune Video Player)

Trouble to link a trusted app with my live 365 account

Hi Vince Jaramillo

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community forum. I hope you're doing well.

Based on your description, it seems to be that you have problem linking your trusted app to your live 365 account. Let's work together to find the best solution to this problem.

I would like to ask some questions to better understand the problem.

• Can you provide us a screenshot of the exact error message you encountered? In this way we can see a bigger picture of the problem.
  
• Is this the first time you encountered the problem?
  
• What is the version or product name of your 365 subscription? Is it Microsoft 365 Family/Personal or Business?
  

To better isolate the problem, I would highly suggest that you try accessing your live 365 account using different browsers such as Microsoft Edge or Chrome. In this way we can isolate the problem if it is a browser issue.

I look forward to your reply.



Sincerely
