    Local to microsoft account issues


    If I click on setting and go to accounts then click on email & accounts.. it will just load forever. I have givin it 2 hours to load and it never stop. If I were to click on sync your settings it will freeze for 5 minutes but will load the page. If I click on sign-in-options I will only get security key option despite the fact that I am using Password sign-in. So if I wanted to change to say pin logon I would have to set that option another way. If I were to open microsoft store and try clicking on the sign-in button to log into my microsoft account it will do nothing at all. If I went to

  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)
