Connect your Microsoft account to your domain account

You can connect your Microsoft account to your domain account and sync your settings and preferences between them. For example, if you use a domain account in the workplace, you can connect your Microsoft account to it and see the same desktop background, app settings, browser history and favorites, and other Microsoft account settings that you see on your home PC. You'll also be able to use Microsoft account services from your domain PC without signing in to them individually.

For the steps to connect your Microsoft account to your domain account, see the topic Connect your Microsoft account to your domain account on Windows.com.

1.From the Start screen, type file explorer and then tap or click File Explorer from the search results.

2.In the lower-left corner of File Explorer, tap or click Homegroup or Network, depending on what type of network you’re using.

3.To browse shared files and folders, tap or click the computer name under Network or someone’s name under Homegroup.
