  1. Reinstalled windows 10 - how to log on without password


    HelloI had to reinstall windows 10 on my laptop. Before that I did not have to enter any form of password to log on, similar to my desktop, the screen just came up and you clicked the box. I am the only user and the laptop stays at home, so I do not need to password protect it. How can you set it up to allow log on without a password? I have tried various methods but none work - is there a nice simple way please.Keith

    :)

    Most painless way to reinstall windows 10?

    How do i do it so my password to microsoft as well a my pc's name remain the same?

    Sometimes when i upgrade i get difference specs that doesn't match with the specs saved by google/microsoft and have often made it neassary to change passwords.

    Last time when i upgraded to creator fall i couldn't log in in, now matter how many times i tried my pc had problems log in, so i had to reinstall windows and adjust it before creators fall update so it aut logged in without a password.

    To say it simple i need to reinstall windows 10 without changing pc name,log in to windows.

    If the name of my pc is changed i can't install bitdefender since the 1 lincense i have is connected to my current pc with the name DESKTOP-THRTFI (i just have to use bitdefenders live chat, but if i could do it in a more easy way that works with all software it would be great)

    As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Launch the Store from your Start menu.
    • Click the user icon next to the search box.
    • Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
    • Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
    • When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”

    Sometimes when i upgrade i get difference specs that doesn't match with the specs saved by google/microsoft and have often made it neassary to change passwords.

    Upgrade what? If your hardware is changing, this will let MS think it's a different PC. IE changing motherboard. Just give them a call and they can activate your license again. Takes about 5 minutes.

    Last time when i upgraded to creator fall i couldn't log in in, now matter how many times i tried my pc had problems log in, so i had to reinstall windows and adjust it before creators fall update so it aut logged in without a password.

    Create a local account, not an online account. You do this on this install windows screen. How to install Windows 10 using Local Account without a Microsoft Account

    To say it simple i need to reinstall windows 10 without changing pc name,log in to windows.

    If the name of my pc is changed i can't install bitdefender since the 1 lincense i have is connected to my current pc with the name DESKTOP-THRTFI (i just have to use bitdefenders live chat, but if i could do it in a more easy way that works with all software it would be great)

    Yes, you need to call in.

    As I mentioned previously, just get your stuff installed and make a image of your hard drive and save it to a backup drive. Then when you have this problem again, you just load the image and you're good to go.

    Good luck.
