Windows 10 Tips – 2 to Start

Hook Up Your PC with Your Microsoft Console

Windows 10 is unique among operating systems. As well as PCs, the same core of the OS is used on tablets, smartphones and the Xbox. And it’s possible to hook up your PC with your Microsoft console.

First you need to open the Xbox app on your PC (to find it, type ‘xbox’ into the Cortana/search box bottom-left), select Connect, and it will automatically scan your home network for a compatible device. When you see the Xbox in question, select it and the pairing process will start.

After you’ve done this, files and other information will be shared between the two devices. It’s definitely something that’s worth doing if you own a Windows 10 PC and an Xbox.

Using Windows 10 On Multiple Devices

A Microsoft Account (which you can set up by heading to https://account.microsoft.com/accountlogin and following the instructions) effectively binds all of your devices together by syncing settings, apps, bookmarks, and everything else between different pieces of hardware.

If you’re wondering how to set up and sync the OS across all your devices, the process is simple – just login to each device with the same Microsoft Account. Then, in the Settings of each device, there will be a set of options concerning what gets shared and how. On your Windows 10 PC, you’ll find this under Settings > Accounts > Sync your settings – first you need to switch Sync Settings on (this is done in Settings), and then you can adjust what’s shared as appropriate.
