Hello,

I am concerned that the part of the About Windows dialog that show my license for Windows 11 is still attached to my OLD hotmail account "<PII Removed>@hotmail.com" which I was told to convert to the @outlook.com account several years ago. Will this be an issue going forward?

Thank you in advance,

Sean C Sang Sr.

    Insider previews have build in expire date and now we all are waiting for Microsoft to release new previews with updated expire date. Linked email have nothing to do with that.
