My Microsoft Account has my laptop listed as SIX (6) separate devices!
I wanted to check my Microsoft Account (MSA) to see if BOTH my retail Windows licenses were in fact associated / linked to my account. And I was both amused and horrified to see this when I chose the "Devices" tab of my Microsoft Account:
Forget for the moment the two virtual machines. The fact is that the single physical laptop appears in my account as 6 different physical machines. As far as I am aware, I have not substantially changed the hardware at all, beyond upgrading the amount of RAM, since I bought the laptop. Of course I will click on "Manage" to see if I can somehow distingush these machines. But I shouldn't really be able to, i think. There is only one laptop.
what is the right thing for me to do in this case? I haven't been accused of violating any EULA (yet), But I worry that if MS thinks I have 6 physical machimes, I can understand why they would expect me to have six lisences. I don't want to find myself cut off because of some weird bugs in how MS counts individual machines.
Thanks for any sage advice
