  1. Why is Microsoft account login required to sign in windows?


    I have changed the heard drive of my Asus laptop and everything was ok. Rebooting was fine, windows running nicely on the new hard drive; then I shut down there computer and went to bed. I woke up in the morning and there was a surprise: on the windows sign in page the system asked me to login into my Microsoft account.Ok no problem, easy peasy.Unfortunately, it keeps telling me that I have no internet connection which is required to access the account.Been stuck there since then, not able to access my laptop because of this nonsense.I have running devices all over my house, all using the wi-f

    Help Removing Microsoft Account login


    I am not sure if you want to switch to a local account instead of your Microsoft account, or if you want to keep your Microsoft account but login automatically instead of having to type the password.

    • Type the Password, and Password Hint that you want set for the local account and click
      Next.
    • Click on Sign out and Finish button.
    • Login to check if the changes are effective.
