If you use the Microsoft Store to get apps and games on your Windows devices, you might sometimes run into a problem where you can’t download new apps. This happens because Microsoft lets you use the Store on up to 10 devices only. If you hit this limit, you need to remove (or “unlink”) some devices from your account to add new ones.

Don’t worry! This guide will show you simple steps to remove devices from your Microsoft account so you can keep using the Microsoft Store without any trouble.

What is the Microsoft Store?

The Microsoft Store is like an app shop for Windows computers and tablets. You can find all kinds of apps, games, and software there. But, Microsoft limits the number of devices you can connect to your account to 10.

How to Remove a Device from Your Microsoft Account

1. Go to the Microsoft Store device page:
   
   Open this link in your web browser:
   
   https://account.microsoft.com/devices/content
   
2. Sign in to your Microsoft account:
   
   Use the email and password you use for the Microsoft Store.
   
3. See your list of devices:
   
   You will see all the devices linked to your Microsoft Store account.
   
4. Find the device you want to remove:
   
   Click the Unlink button next to that device.
   
5. Confirm the removal:
   
   When asked, click Unlink again to confirm you want to remove the device.
   

Here is what the device list looks like:

After you click Unlink, you will see a confirmation like this:

That’s it! Now, the device is removed, and you can download apps on your other devices without hitting the limit.

Why It’s Helpful

• Keeping your device list tidy means you can always add new devices to the Microsoft Store.
• Removing old or unused devices frees up space for your current devices to download apps.
• If you ever run into trouble, you can follow these steps again to manage your devices easily.
