    Setting Up Windows 10, Don't Remember Microsoft PW, Changed Addr. & Phone Today, Won't Be...


    I started to set Windows 10 up yesterday; I don't know how I got past the login page but I did. When I went to finish up and start using my new laptop, I was prompted to enter my Microsoft password. I don't recall what it is so I was given the option of receiving a text at the number on my account - I no longer have that #. At that point I was instructed to go my account to update phone #. I updated my phone # address. When I tried "forgot my password," I received this message:
    "k__---@___l.com
    You can't access this site right now

    This site requires a security code to sign in. When your security info updates on 2/17/2020 you will be able to access this site. You can still access sites such as Outlook and Skype that don't require a security code."


    According to this, I won't be able to change my password for a month which means I can't access the new laptop.


    Any suggestions?


    Thank you.

    :)

    Volume Mute Light won´t change color


    I can´t find anything that addresses my actual problem.I have seen that others have also experienced this problem but I have not found a solution that works. My ProBook was originally Win 7 pro, updated to Win 10 pro but HP won´t update because of its age (for me, brand new-just bought it a few days ago) so I don´t really know what to do. Sure, just a minor glitch but a very irritating one (that orange is just way too bright!) that should be a snap to fix (or not-I don´t know, I think my 4 year old granddaughter has better computer skills than I do!) English is not the default language so many of the commands must be translated-just another hassel to deal with. I finally found the systemconfig. box. Selective start and discovered that ALL the service boxes are checked. Good, bad, doesn´t make a difference: I just don´t know.

    Macrium is used frequently in this forum. There are experts in using it to recover drives. It's unclear as to why you are struggling to use it. I had not used it and just tried it for the first time and it went smoothly. Maybe these images might help?

    For my model only up to win7 is listed and HP says that it does not provide win 10 upgrades for a laptop my age. Don´t know how to open or use msconfig-my computer skills are very selective and all in all very poor.
