Windows 10: I just signed in the other day and now today I couldn't and had to change email and...

How does my screen name and password I just used disappear when I have it saved in Google password because I recently had a head injury with memory loss, and now you don't have any of my computer info on this screen name, and it isn't worth me spending the energy to add it all.Why is there no way to recover my old account using my old or create a new password or at least recover my data so I don't have to start from blank again.Please help!

"We couldn`t create a new partition or locate an existing one."

Try this:

Before you get to that message, press SHIFT + F10 to open a command prompt.

Run diskpart.
At the diskpart prompt, run these commands:

list disk

At this point you should see the SSD as disk 0. If it has another disk number, use that number rather than "0" in the next command.

select disk 0
clean
exit (to exit from diskpart)
exit (to exit from the command prompt)





That should clear the contents of the disk. The entire disk space should then show up in Windows setup as "Unallocated Space" as in the screenshot below.

Email Change

Hello Oya,

I am Jaspreet Singh.

You can change the main outlook email address but it will be changed for all locations not just for signing into the computer.

This is called changing the primary alias and the steps are listed here : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/add-...
