Hi, I have a PC and a new laptop that both use my Microsoft account. If I want to install Microsoft 365 on both devices, which license do I buy exactly? Personal or Family? I am not sure because I am using the same account for both devices, not different ones. Also, is Microsoft 365 "Home" a different or older name of the "family" version? Or is it something else?

The Personal license. Office 365 can be installed on many computers, but it is meant for just one person to use at a time.
