This tutorial will show you how to unlink a device from the Microsoft Store for your Microsoft account.
The Microsoft Store allows you to use up to 10 devices with your Microsoft account.
If you can't download apps and games (content), you've reached your Microsoft Store device limit. Unlink a device you don't use or have access to, then go to Microsoft Store and try again.
Once you unlink a device, it no longer counts toward your device limit. If you download an app or game on this device later, it will count towards your device limit again.
