  1. Skipping the Security Questions during Clean Install Setup process?


    In case I decide to reinstall Windows 10 v1803 (or later releases) by performing a Clean Installation, how can I skip the Security Questions during the Local Windows Account setup stage? The first local account setup would be my Admin account. Then, once Windows completes the setup, then, I would create a Standard User local account.

    But is there a way to skip the Security Questions during the clean installation?

    Or, is there any way to remove the Security Questions on my two Local Accounts?

    Thanks!

    :)

  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)

  3. Clean Install Workaround for Vista

    You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:
    • Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
    • When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
    • Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
    • When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
    • This time enter your product key
    • When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
    • Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it
    Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.

    Skipping the Security Questions during Clean Install Setup process?

    Windows 10 clean re-install requires product key - cannot skip

    After upgrading to Windows 10, I produced an installed CD using the Microsoft install CD creation tool. I now want to do a clean re-install of Windows 10 while preserving my files and applications. When installation using CD starts, the program requests
    a product key. In some forums they suggest to skip this step and Windows 10 will later fix the product key. But in my case, I do not see a skip option. The 'Next' button is grayed until I enter a valid product key. I do have a valid OS on my system.
    That is why I was able to upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7.

    The question is how to perform Window 10 re-install when the program does not allow me to skip/postpone activation? Thanks.
