  1. Made a new PC. Can't log in to my account or active windows


    I made an install boot usb. Used it. Had no internet on load because I had to install motherboard drivers after so windows forced me to make an account. After I connected I tried to log into my Microsoft account to activate windows. After I used my authentication app it asked for my password. It said my Microsoft password was wrong and forced me to use my new local password I made. What?? Please help

    :)

    Windows 10 Im unable to log into account Only temporary account available

    Hi Andy,

    To address your concern regarding account issues in Windows 10, we recommend creating a new user account using the hidden administrator account. To do this, follow the steps below:

    • On your keyboard, press Windows + X.
    • Select Command Prompt (admin).
    • Type net user administrator /active: yes (Note: There is a space after "/" and ":").

    After performing the steps above, log out to your current account, then log in to the hidden administrator. Next, create a new user account by following these steps:

    • Click the Windows Menu, type Settings, and press
      Enter.
    • Choose Accounts.
    • Click Family & other people tab.
    • Select Add someone else to this PC, and follow the onscreen instructions.

    We'll be here if you need more help.

    register PC with microsoft; use local account to log in

    Just simply log in with your Microsoft Account.
    Switch to Microsoft Account in Windows 10

    Just go back to using a local account:
    Switch to Local Account in Windows 10

    Hopefully the tutorials are step by step enough.
