Two Windows 10 - laptop and desktop. Want to use the same user id for a Microsoft account on each computer. Laptop set up originally with the MS account and has a users/userid folder containing my Outlook mail files. The desktop has a users/(unknown) folder. If I login to the MS account on the desktop, will that create the users/userid on that machine?
And then will I be able to move my Outlook files to the desktop? Remove them from the laptop?
