    I need HELP with finding a new laptop

    Hi guys.
    I am looking for a new laptop for work. The requirements I have are:
    • Portability & Lightweight since I have to carry it around every single day
    • 13'' with at least 8GB RAM the more the better but that will do
    • at least 8 hours of Battery life I don't want to stress about that
    • 500 GB HD will do
    • I need it to work fast!
    Honestly, I want to buy a MacBook, but it's pricey so I am not sure it is worth it. What will you suggest?

    finding my pin on my new laptop

    Why doesn't my pin work with the anniversary edition?

    Hi Nancy,

    We would like to know more about the issue. Before you had the Anniversary Update, were you using an 8-digit PIN?

    For the meantime, we suggest that you remove the current PIN and create a new PIN. You can do that by following these steps:

    • Select the Start button, type Settings, and select it from the list of results.
    • Choose Accounts.
    • Select Sign-in options.
    • Under PIN, select Remove.

    After you have deleted your current PIN, create a new 4-digit PIN by following these steps:

    • Select the Start button, type Settings, and select it from the list of results.
    • Choose Accounts.
    • Select Sign-in options.
    • Under PIN, select Add.

    Once you have created your new 4-digit PIN, restart your computer and sign-in using the new 4-digit PIN.

    Note: It is very important that you remove then create a new PIN rather than changing the current PIN.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards.
