This article explains how to view all devices linked to your Microsoft account on Windows 11.

A Microsoft account is a single sign-on user account that allows access to Microsoft’s cloud services, such as OneDrive, Outlook, and Microsoft Teams, as well as Windows devices, Xbox consoles, and the Microsoft Store.

When you sign into a device with your Microsoft account, the device is added and linked to your Microsoft account, which can be viewed online.

Beginning with Windows 11 build 22635.3495, a new Linked devices tile under Settings > Accounts was introduced that allows you to manage PCs and Xbox consoles that you are signed in to with your Microsoft account.

This settings page is only available on the Home and Pro editions of Windows 11 and if you’re signed into Windows with your Microsoft account.
