  1. Confused about account.


    I have a Windows account linked to two devices: my PC, which runs Windows 11 Insider, and my Android phone. Unfortunately, my PC is currently broken, so I’m using my mother’s PC, which runs Windows 10, to try to access my account.The issue began when I tried to log into my Microsoft account on her PC to access my email, using my PIN. However, since I wasn’t logged into my account on her PC, the PIN option didn’t work. I then attempted to use my account password to log in, but after several failed PIN attempts, I received a message saying my account was locked due to too many failed login attem

  3. User Account Confusions

    Certainly am ! First to uninstall Malwarebytes and disable Secure Boot. Then I am good to go.

    Left starting until I could get a clear run,


    DOWNLOADING ISO
    I am confused by the Download Menus which suggest downloading twice which is fine but in
    between seems to suggest downloading and UPDATING Windows 10. I seem to remember being warned at some stage updating Windows could cause confusion. Should I ignore this Dialogue - menu - step and proceed straight to downloading from the Microsoft site ?

    Also I need the mouse to work efficiently is it ok
    a) to leave it in and/or
    b) to remove it an put it back during the Repair install ?

    The touch pad is unreliable and only seems to work intermittently,
