  1. MS Account questions


    I'm not sure but I think I just opened an MS Account for the first time.

    But I dont see anywhere to log in or out at ?

    If this is a MS account, is there a place to log in or out at ?

    Thank you, Oscar Using Win 10 Pro

    :)

  2. Local account installation question


    I'm fairly certain that Skip this step was available in 10.0.130 - the workaround in Step 20 (back button) is no longer required.

    The currently known, as of 10.0.130, ways to create a Local account sign-in are
    • Skip this step at the MS account creation phase
    • No Internet connection during the install
    • static IP (post# 2 by Fragment) - New (to me anyway)

  3. Using a MS Account Questions

    Hi:

    I'm not sure anyone can answer that definitively, as we do not work for MS.
    And it's not clear from your question if you are referring to data telemetry/sharing with MS or to overall computer security from malware, etc.

    Either way, much computer security hinges on the end-user as the first and last line of defense, in terms of safe computing practices.

    The tutorial I provided in my previous reply lists some of the features -- you can read that list and decide for yourself if they are "advantages" or not, in terms of personal data sharing/vulnerability.

    These MS articles may also help:

    Microsoft account FAQ
    and
    Microsoft account - security info and security codes

    I use only a local account on my Win10. So we'll need to wait for others who use a MS account to weigh in with further advice.

    Cheers,
    MM

    Remove account

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:
