  1. remove local account from sign in screen.


    This is a two parter. The first obviously being how do i remove the local account on the computer from showing up on the sign in screen , its really annoying seeing two account that both link to the same account. Secondly when ever I boot my computer before i even type anything or do anything it automatically says that the password or sign info is incorrect note this is before i even do anything . This is another reason id like to remove the account from sign in. among the fact that it defaults to this one with no sign in info on it. pin isn't selected by default on it, and its have no picture

    :)

  2. Local account installation question


    I'm fairly certain that Skip this step was available in 10.0.130 - the workaround in Step 20 (back button) is no longer required.

    The currently known, as of 10.0.130, ways to create a Local account sign-in are
    • Skip this step at the MS account creation phase
    • No Internet connection during the install
    • static IP (post# 2 by Fragment) - New (to me anyway)
