Hello all!
Up until now I have run my laptop and desktop on two separate accounts. For simplicity sake, I'd rather have them on one. How would I get both running on the same account? (I assume this is possible because of the Device Manager setting) Thank you! |

Could you please share us how did you started?
----------------------------------------Maybe just sign in with the same account whichever you like on both machines.  |

(I assume this is possible because of the Device Manager setting) Thank you! GhzGuy, welcome to the forums. When you add the second machine to the WCG project just use the same username and password as the first machine and they will be on the same account. With an existing machine, you will have to remove the WCG project first and then add it back with the correct username and password. Note that you can not combine existing accounts (or their stats) so choose the account you like best and say goodbye to the other one. |

I was able to re-install Boinc and it took a few minutes to get everything set up, but it's working well now! Thank you so much! |
