New user account on computer

Jack57 · 2014/01/30

I recently updated to Windows 8.1 on two laptops and a desktop. All computers were upgraded using my Microsoft account. I went on my computer this morning and most of my favorites were gone. I finally figured out that all computers had sync turned on. My wife had deleted all the favorites on her computer that she did not recognize. I lost a lot of my favorites so I turned sync off on all computers. I would like to get her a Microsoft account, put it on her computer and remove my account from her computer. That might sound simple to most of you but I would hate to mess up one or all computers. Any easy way to do this? Thanks, Jack
