Windows 10: How do I make it so that I don't have to enter my password when turning on/waking up my PC?

I'm sure this has cumulatively taken MINUTES out of my life. It's annoying when I wanna use my Steam Link as well and have to run up two flights of stairs to my room to unlock my PC and then back down to the living room where the Link is.

It's extra annoying because Windows forced me yesterday to use a number pin instead which is considerably more annoying to type than my old password was. Pls help
