    Mistakenly chose work rather than personal in win 10 setup


    Hi

    I've just got a new laptop and was going through the win 10 Pro setup and incorrectly chose for it to be a work PC when I should have set it up as a personal. I've got all the way through and it wants an 'Other user' login and password which I dont have. How can I reset the laptop so I can say its personal rather than work. The laptop came pre-loaded with no media disk.

    What's my way out of this issue.

    :)

    Restore app in Most Used List

    Hi,

    I mistakenly chose "Don't show in this list" for an app in the Most Used List in the Start Menu (Win 10).

    How can I make it show again?

    Organization vs Personal Setup Windows 10

    Bought a new computer and mistakenly set it up as if it was part of an organization and need to roll it back to setup for personal use. Any idea how to do that? I can't even log onto the computer at this point. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
