Hi as you know I have fun and games with Microsoft and passwords .......

1 The devices arent linked
2 It has the same icon photo
3 I have nt used it since i changed my Microsoft password.
Whats the relationship between Microsoft and these accounts , lappy and tablet.
On the lappy i have pin , picture and password access. Any suggestions.

@Jenny105 I think the password or pin you set on your laptop is device specific.
Try your original password on the tablet.

Hiyer M15, Glad to hear from you. I suspected this to be the case. My old notebooks will have to be searched as it seems I can't quite remember the old one. Or so the device tells me.
I'll probably ditch it as its THAT one . The one i couldnt get a sim card for. Christmas is coming , so's the birthday come to think of it .......... Any suggestions. Must travel well ( 😉 ) and have a memorable password He he

Well all this time later and we are making some progress ----- I think
The opening photo of glaciers was overprinted with Microsoft stuff re accounts today. So i checked it , It showed 3 devices . So I set a gmail email; slightly changed the profile name. It looked as if I had sussed this as 2 of the devices responded to the new password and email.
BUT
One drive on lappy came up as not signed in and is showing an old email. I doubt i have that password anymore. At the mo its switched off
So queries Do i need one drive?? any idea how to sync it and from where? are any other microsoft items likely to be affected , if so I'll try them
