I genuinely thought this was going to end with a /s... Really?

I shut down my Windows 10 Laptop before leaving work yesterday. I forgot to sign into the newly setup wifi. So I connected my Windows 10 phone to it.

My Windows 10 phone has my Windows Live account on it. As does my Windows 10 Laptop.

Today, I logged into my Windows 10 laptop using my Windows Live username and password, and yesterdays WiFi settings (that I setup on my phone) instantly sync'd with my Windows 10 laptop.

At the same time, my Onedrive account sync'd all the files I'd been working on last night, on my Windows 10 desktop.

You can get the same 'least amount of work' experience if you fully invest in the Microsoft ecosystem (onedrive.. live.. etc..).

As you can do it in Chromebook with your android devices or with Mac and iOS devices...

MS was the last to implement it though...

Are you trying to imply something?

Nope. Just pointing out, that what you described above is pretty common. You don't need to "fully invest in the Microsoft ecosystem"

Peace
