  1. Cannot add a device to my microsoft account

    My microsoft account is not showing all the computers linked to my account.Microsoft's advice is:"Go to account.microsoft.com/devices, select Don't see your device?, then follow the instructions." - Don't see your device - does not exist on the device page of my microsoft account.Microsoft seems to provide:- no email support- no chat support- no phone support- community pages with many different versions of the same question and hardly ever the right answer. I'm reasonably proficient with a computer - it must be nightmare for those that are not.

  2. Unknown devices on my Microsoft account

    Hello Flemmingk, Cannot add a device to my microsoft account :)

    Could these other devices be from friends that you may have signed in to your Microsoft account on for something?

    Either way, you can remove these devices.

    Afterwards to be safe, I would recommend to change the password of your Microsoft account, and enable two-step verification if you haven't already.

  3. Unknown devices on my Microsoft account Thanks Brink
    I get different reactions every time I try to delete a device, but the result is that I cannot remove the devices.
    I'll go back to local accounts and delete the Microsoft account.
    I changed to Microsoft account because I wanted to use the Continue on PC feature. This feature doesn't work so I think that I'll just forget about it.
    Thanks for your interest.

  4. Cannot add a device to my microsoft account

    Unable to add a device to Microsoft account

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Ideally, when we sign in to a device using the Microsoft account, the device is already added to the Microsoft account. However, as you have mentioned you are unable to add the device to the Microsoft account after removing it. We would suggest you
    to try converting the account as a local account and then converting it as a Microsoft account. This should add the device to the Microsoft account. Kindly refer the steps mentioned below:

    1. Press Windows key + I, to open
      Settings      .
    2. Click on Accounts and select
      Your info       on the left pane.
    3. Now, click on Sign in with a local account instead and follow the on-screen instructions.
    4. Once the account is converted as a local account, sign in to the account, go to settings and click on
      Sign in with a Microsoft account.
    5. Follow the on-screen instructions to convert the account. Once the account is converted as a Microsoft account, the device will be listed in your Microsoft account.

    Meanwhile, we would like to know the following details to assist you with the Minecraft issue:

    • How are you trying to install Minecraft?
    • Which edition of Minecraft are you trying to install?

    Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
