Windows 10: My Microsoft account management shows 2 of the exact same devices,

My all in one has been acting weird. I mean by weird is I seem to not have owner /administrators rights on my own pc. I disabled a couple of devices that kept popping up and restarted to enter the bios. I immediately noticed that the service tag number was missing I have a Dell aio 20 3043 so thats very unusual . I went and inserted it. I restarted after saving. When I got back on I used it in tablet mode and it just got more bizarre. All of a sudden my Windows 10 pro which I have had a license for over 3 years wasn't activated? I go to manage my account and under my device's my PC has a clone!! Does anyone have a clue....jeez story of my life

Too many devices in Microsoft Account

Hello JJ,

Yep, that would be the reason why the PC is listed more than once as a device for your Microsoft account.

Each different computer name will be listed as a separate device.

The tutorial below can help show you how to remove the devices you want.

Cannot sign in microsoft account.

My device: Lumia 520. GDR2.
I cannot sign in my Microsoft account on my device. It didnt say any error but Microsoft account is not listed in Email and account list. When I click add button, it will show microsoft account option but after press sign in, it is still not shown in email
and account. Another problem is i cannot delete facebook account. Error code: 0x83cf1202. I have tried as suggested here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2475837/en-us#step0x83cf1202 but as my Microsoft account is not shown, I cannot do step 6.

Any suggestion?

 

How to permanently remove laptop device from my Microsoft account

At this location https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4026440/microsoft-account-manage-your-devices I found these instructions:

If you don't use a device but it still appears in your devices list, here's how to remove it:

• Go to account.microsoft.com/devices, sign in, and find the device you want to remove.
• Select Show details to see info for that device.
• Under your device's name, select More actions > Remove.
• Review your device details, select the check box, I'm ready to remove this device, then select Remove.

I successfully completed Steps 1 and 2 but could not find Step 3 -
Under your device's name, select More actions > Remove

So it seems that these instructions no longer apply.

I want to remove this laptop from my account because I no longer have it.

Suggestions appreciated.

Thanks
