One advantage of connecting your device to your Microsoft account is that it saves you from losing your data if you forget your PC password. For example, connecting your PC to your account allows you to reset your password without losing data. You’ve come to the right place if you recently purchased a new Windows computer and want to link it to your Microsoft account. Connecting your device to your Microsoft account makes it safer and more straightforward to access if an unexpected event occurs, such as forgetting your login password, and it also allows you to make regular backups.
