Two computers and cant get into one!
This is my first post, so please be gentle with me!
I have a Dell all in one desktop with Windows 8.1 running on it, and downloaded last week 10 onto my HP laptop. To keep things simple, I used the same e/mail address and password to start both computers using my Microsoft account. All went well until this afternoon and no issues whatsoever :)
Today, I was out and about and wanted to log into my laptop and lo and behold, my laptop password wasn't accepted and I couldn't even get past the log-in screen. So I had to go into a computer shop, pay them £15 and they reset my Microsoft password...they told me that the new password will now be used for my laptop and my desktop.
Now back home, an hour later and tried opening my desktop using the new password. Nope, it only accepted my old Microsoft account password!
What on earth is going on? Is this a common fault?
Must I have 2 separate Microsoft accounts for two different machines? If so, not much point in having a cross-platform system and I'll revert back to 8.1 post haste.
