Managing your Microsoft account
Being an online account means that you can manage it
from your web browser – head to https://account.microsoft.com.
From this page you can edit your profile, change your picture and
password, and keep on top of the financial side of things. If you
use Microsoft Office, OneDrive or other services, you can manage
their settings, and control payment options from your account

Signing into a second PC
Part of the point of using a Microsoft account is to use it on
a second – or third or fourth! – PC. If you get a new laptop or
desktop, you can sign into your account during the initial setup
process, or at a later time. To add it later, head to the Family &
other users section of Settings > Accounts and click the Add
someone else to this PC link before signing into your account.
7 Sharing a computer
A similar process can be used to share a computer
between two or more people. To add people to your computing
family, click the Add a family member link and sign into the
account as normal. Accounts can be set up as Administrators
with unlimited access to the computer, or Limited users to restrict
what they are able to do.

Using parental controls
One of the benefits of signing into Windows 10 with a
Microsoft account is that it gives you access to powerful parental
control options. If you have children, you can set them up with
their own Microsoft account at https://family.microsoft.com/, add
them to Settings > Accounts as a child, and then monitor and
limit what they are able to do online and within Windows.40 |^ |^ April 2020
