If you’re an author or publisher who relies on Windows 10 to run your business, you may be wondering how to remove authorized PCs from your account. Here’s a guide on how to do it:
- Log in to your Windows 10 account and open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and click on the Accounts tab.
- In the Accounts section, click on the three-line arrow next to your name and select “Add new account.”
- In the new account dialogue, enter a name for your PC and click “Create.”
- When the PC is created, it will be listed under “Your PC” in the Accounts section of Settings. You can now close this account if you want or keep it open if you need to use it again later.
One of the awesome things about the Windows Store is you are allowed to install any app you purchase on up to 5 Windows machines. This means that the PC you install the app on gets added to your Trusted PC list. Here’s how to clean up that list.
Remove PCs That Are Allowed To Install Purchased Apps
Switch to the Start Screen and launch the Store app.
Now move your mouse to the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, or press the Win + C keyboard combination to bring up the Charms bar, from here select the Settings Charm.
Then head into your account settings.
At the bottom of your account, you will see all the devices that are allowed to install apps you purchase. Simply click the Remove button and that device will no longer be able to install apps from your account.
That’s all there is to it.
