You cannot install Windows 10 ( or several other Microsoft products ) without a Microsoft e-mail account. What was once msn and so on is now outlook.com. So just trot along to |

Thank you Rollo. I think he eventually remembered his (very old and unused) MSN password. |

Isn't it odd how apparently everybody in Redmond seems to have a heavy accent and a poor command of the English language? |

if you are driving a decent motor (a) it won't have any keys and (b) the Russian mafia, Serbs et al will already have yr details. You are about to become a none person with no ID. |

It could be argued that I do not necessarily need the mafia for that ! |

When we log in our current computers we don't have to input a password. Now that OH has upgraded he always has to input a password when he logs in. |

Sooner or later a software contractor at UKJGov is going to invoke the wrong routine and delete the digital identity of most of the population ... can't happen ? A US contractor has already managed to leak the whole US Fed employee database by accident ( sounds better than "hacked" ). |

You can turn that off if nobody else uses the computer although it lessens security of course |

When you do as Rollo correctly says above, click on your account and I think you can remove the tick next to something about users having to enter a password - will double check when I am on a Win 10 machine later. |
