Windows 10: New Desktop

Ready to power up new desktop (HP Pavilion 550-a114) Windows 10 pre installed. Reason for new PC between is lost passwords, Administrator, Local, alias accounts, managing accounts, Microsoft Account signin, etc. Think that have my back-up service also confused as an Administrator prevents me from getting older User account files.
I just want to register product, name it if I have to and go on from there.

SO:

1. I have no need to connect with other computers, printers or whatever. This is only computer in home. Most I would do is watch Netflix on TV in other room. Do I really have to get a Microsoft Administer Account and then create a Local Account?

:)

ha i have a photo and its welcoming like windows 10 can you make this the main desktop back ground plz i work a lot on it and it fits the desktop

 

That sounds like a good plan except it also sounds like a big hassle just because you lost your password.

 

You do not need to create a Microsoft account first. The first account I always create is a local account because I like to decide what the name of my user folder is.

 

I like the idea. The next time I get the urge to buy a new computer I'll tell my wife I have to because I lost my password. *Smile

 

I tried that. I didn't work.

 

Sounds good. I will try that. Do you know if local account can be ANY name, or one I may be already been using.?

 

It can be pretty much any name, but it can't be a duplicate of an existing account on the system. If you have an MS account of myusername@hotmail.com, you can make a local account of myusername and they will be two different accounts.
