  1. Account password change


    This microsoft account password thing makes setting up windows and all of that so much easier...The thing that gets me is that it's good account and password security to change your password regularly, but if you're using the MS account password on your pc, every time you change the password you pretty much need to re-install or reset windows to get it to use the new password.I was hoping that maybe with later revisions of windows 10 and DEFINITELY Windows 11 that the issue would've been resolved, but it's still an issue.So if you're planning to change your microsoft account password regularly

    :)

    • Click on Accounts.
    • Now, under Your account, click on Sign in with Local account instead.
    • Enter your Microsoft account password for confirmation and then follow the screen instruction.
    • Enter User name credentials for your the Local account and click OK.
