Your microsoft account apparently has 81 other PCs.

Have you ever used your Microsoft account on another Windows install named Bevel? Devices never get removed from your Microsoft account unless you remove them manually.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If I log into my MS account, I don't see any of this. It says I have 5 devices signed in.

To anyone seeing the screenshot, my friend suggested that it might be a typo and it actually is saying mentioning "You can install the apps you get from the Store on 8.1 PCs." not "81 PCs". I still don't know what the hell Bevel is though. I have NO pcs named Bevel and I never have. My MS account is not showing any PCs named Bevel.

In that case, click remove and see if anything stops working. If something does you know what Bevel is, if nothing does it wasn't important.

 

 

Edit: also it does actually mean 81 PCs. https://blogs.windows.com/windowsdeveloper/2013/09/27/increasing-the-app-roaming-limits/

So, this isn't saying I have 81 devices, it's saying I can install on up to 81 devices should I have that many? Clever that 8.1 gave you 81 devices, but confusing. Also, wouldn't Bevel show up as a name on my MS account page or would I have to go to each of my PCs and try to identify each one by looking up names?
