A Puzzle To Me

[timberup]

I have a laptop that is running Win10 and a desktop also on Win10. The laptop runs a home- group to a couple of devices mainly for photo and music sharing, the desktop does not belong to that home-group. In the last month When I changed my laptop wallpaper my desktop seemed to copy it and I had the same image on that without physically changing it. Now any changes to Microsoft edge i.e adding to favourites bar or just in favourites itself is also mirrored on my desktop. Has anyone an answer I'm not duly concerned just intrigued as to what's going on.

When you install Windows 10, it, by default asks you to create a Microsoft Account and sign in to your computer with that account. If you are signing in to both computers with the same account, then they will sync as you describe. You can change to signing in with a "local" account to prevent this (and to stop MS from spying on you for advertising purposes), but you have to go through a number of hoops to do so.

Thanks Chair, It makes sense, I really just wanted to know why, and that seems to be the reason.
