    When we all come to install the final build of Windows 10, is there a way to enable the online account but not to let it sync all the settings?

    Windows Phone Calendar

    Your phone does not sync directly to your desktop.

    Your Microsoft online account is in the middle.

    The phone and the desktop sync to your online account.

    A change on the desktop calendar syncs to your online account and then your phone has to sync to the online account to pick up the changes.

    You have to figure out which link is not working.

    ah ok. What would be your recommendation for what to enable/disable in syncing. I want to that fresh new feel when the time comes to install 10 final.

    Sorry for revisiting this, but I think the install method changed with the last build. Reason why I think that is because it did sync my email and lock screen picture which is precisely what I'm trying to avoid.

    Hey Nick,

    Yeah, it has changed in the latest build. We no longer have an option during Windows Setup like in my screenshot above. We can still turn off syncing afterwards though.
