Windows 10: logging in with a new computer

I will be getting a new computer later this month but have a question regarding signing in with my microsoft account. Will I be asked for some sort of verification when I am setting up the new computer and logging in with microsoft account? If so how will I even get the verification if am not actually logged in to the computer yet? I mean I won't have access to my email and I don't have a mobile device?

We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.

New TechPowerUp Forums, Early Access

So far I like it with just a few issues, and they are minor.

• The name of the person who created the thread and the date is really lite and hard to read for me.
• When you are logged in the thread titles are in bold and look great, but when you are logged out they are normal, and very hard to read. We have a lot of users that come, and do not login. So, I suggest changing it to where everything is bold if you are not logged in.

New CPU cooler for Ryzen questions and suggestions

Your Ryzen 7 1700X should be close to 4.0GHz anyway, so overclocking is pointless.
If the computer freezes then there should be an error listed in the crash logs, most likely a clock watchdog timeout, changing the cooler won't fix it.
I'd suggest leaving the CPU stock and clocking your Ram up a bit.
