Can I use the same Microsoft account to be the administrator user on many devices?

I need to set up about 50 laptops for our staff at our school. My question is, if we set up each computer and login using a general (non-365) Microsoft account to be the administrator account on each device (and then add a local user account when I assign each laptop to a teacher) will I only be able to login to that account on a certain number of devices before it "max's out"?

Or can I login on all the devices with that one account to set the administrator, and then add the local users? It would be so that we can login to each device as teachers leave the school to re-set, change users, etc. Or is there a better way of putting an admin account on all devices that the device can be managed through?

    Hi,

    Yes, you can use the same Microsoft account as the administrator user on multiple devices. Microsoft does not have a specific limit on the number of devices you can use with a single Microsoft account.
