Simple question. Unable to find the location in the help section that answers this question. I am sure this will be a super quick response by someone when this is read, BUT I just need the link to the location for instructions setting up more than one Windows 10 computer system with BOINC that will let all work done on all three of my computers get recognized under the same accounts for each of the projects I am currently doing (SETI@Home, Rosetta@Home, and FIND@Home). I know I saw these instructions long ago, but had only one computer at the time. Thank you in advance.

Very simple - you can have as many computers as you like on a single account.
Download BOINC from the link on the "home" tab on the website.
When you install BOINC on each computer you use the same email account and password.
This works on any (recent) version of Windows, Linux, Mac in any mixture you like.

Thanks! I THOUGHT it would be that simple, but I did not want to take that step and find out that in fact it was more complicated. In fact, the last time I remember seeing the instructions online was way back when I was using Windows Xp Pro. I seem to remember there was a bit of involvement to get it done, yet it seemed like things would have been improved since those days. Once again, thanks!

Set up and running, no issues. This can be closed out, if that is how this system works.
