    Account setup


    A computer service center changed my administrative name and windows pin. My computer was hacked. I cannot change it back to my original administrator name. The articles only show how to create new users and/or accounts.

  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)
