Can malware spread through online Microsoft accounts? - Microsoft Community

hello, tried windows 10 on old pc. not sure if infected @ time. don't think was. created account log windows 10 microsoft account (the email , password use microsoft office online or onedrive). bought brand new new pc windows 10 on it. used  the same email , password log new computer did on old one. if old pc infected new pc become infected if use same microsoft account log it?

it's unlikely, happen if (for example) had infected file stored in onedrive , opened same file later on new pc.  while unlikely, isn't entirely out of question.

i'd make sure have built-in windows defender turned on, , practice  habits downloading , installing software trust.
