  1. Is there a way to get my account back?


    Hello I am writing with a problem that occurred to me today. My account was breached into with the use of password reset code, and the hacker changed both password and email address. I tried the recovery method but it is to no use thanks to me not providing enough evidence. Though I have screenshots of the chat with the hacker and i know my old address, the new address, the old nickname. Is there a way to get my account back?

    :)

    Remove account

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

  3. 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)
