This guide shows you how to remove devices linked to your Microsoft Store account. We’ll explain why you might need to do this and what happens when you unlink a device.
What is the Microsoft Store?
The Microsoft Store is an app store for Windows computers. You can browse, download, and install applications, games, and software through it.
Why Unlink Devices?
Microsoft allows you to link up to 10 devices to your Microsoft Store account. If you’ve reached this limit, you won’t be able to download new apps and games. Unlinking old devices you no longer use solves this problem.
What Happens When You Unlink a Device?
When you unlink a device, it’s removed from your Microsoft Store account. You can then add a new device if needed.
How to Remove a Device from Your Microsoft Account
- Go to the Microsoft Store device management page on your Microsoft account.
- Look at your list of devices.
- Find the device you want to remove and click Unlink.
- Confirm by clicking the Unlink button again.
That’s it! The device is now removed from your account.
Summary
Managing your Microsoft Store devices keeps your account organized and lets you download apps on new devices. You can have up to 10 devices linked at once. If you reach this limit, simply unlink devices you no longer use. Visit your Microsoft account page, find the device in your list, and click Unlink twice to confirm. This process takes just a few seconds and immediately frees up a slot for a new device.
