Is your mother's account set up separately from yours?

Re-reading your question, it sounds like you have 2 separate computers using the same Microsoft account as a login/backup?

I probably did set her up using my account. &nbsp;Can I just create a separate account for her that I still control (e.g. that uses MY email)?

I am running Windows 10 on my computer, and I have my mother's computer set up on my account so I can manage it for her. &nbsp;Her computer just updated the Microsoft Edge, and imported all of MY favorites (she has her own favorites). &nbsp;Is there a way to separate her computer from mine while still allowing me to manage &nbsp;her account?<br />

Thanks,<br />

Managing Separate Computers

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

Windows 10

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Windows OS

Internet Explorer is a series of graphical web browsers first developed by Microsoft Corporation in 1995. It is included in the Microsoft Windows line of operating systems. It was first released as part of the add-on package Plus! for Windows 95.
