1385300	2014-10-02 05:12:00	Is it possible to bypass the log on BS ? Yep, its EXACTLY the same as Windows 8 -8.1. When you install the OS make sure its not connected to the internet /LAN ( this is VERY important) when you get to the screen setting, DONT select the Default /Express option. If you are connected to a working internet connection it usually wont give you the option to customize. Select CUSTOMIZE Button. As shown in the setting picture ( the picture shows Express -- DONT click that) 5952 Once you click Customize you can basically go next , next etc, you'll get to a window to enter your name, Thats it. It Wont boot to a log in screen unless you enable it later. ( Via the Store for example) Even then its easy to disconnect the log in and set it back to the local log in. I've found that if you do setup to log in Via a account first, it can be difficult to disable it. This "Setup" is from W8, 8.1 and now 10.	wainuitech (129)

1385304	2014-10-02 06:53:00	Bummer,so I have to reinstall it...nuts.Is it possible to gain admin rights so I can delete windows old? To delete the windows.old folder - always done it this way - windows-old-folder-delete-windows-8-a.html (www.eightforums.com) As for the removing of the password, sometimes you can do it by removing the password as Bryan points out, but I've often found it comes back. Doing it the way I posted before, you can remove/ switch accounts. Let me explain, when you sign in it logs into an account, when you don't its actually a local account ( not a internet one) hope that makes sense. What you can try is how I usually get the accounts to swap over. Works as I said if not signed in from the start, should work this way, but cant guarantee it. No Idea what will happen in W10, haven't tried it. Open the control Panel - User Accounts - near the top is a link "Make changes to my account in PC settings" 5953 Then click "Disconnect" The picture below says connect to a MS account, but yours will say disconnect. 5954 You'll be prompted for the current password, enter it, then you will need to select your account if more than one, other wise the default will be there (don't enter a password). It "should" automatically create a local account with all your previous guff. On disconnecting it will show the log in window, BUT as long as it loads up OK on reboot it should go straight to the desktop. The above method doesn't always work if a local account isn't created first, so in W10 it may be a trial and error.	wainuitech (129)

1385306	2014-10-02 10:08:00	Just beware if you're installing Windows 10 in Virtualbox, as the guest additions doesn't yet support Windows 10 (even under Windows 8 compatibility mode; the virtual graphics card crashes). I can't judge performance for the above reason. Bare metal all the way...	Agent_24 (57)
1385307	2014-10-02 19:53:00	Bare metal all the way... I'm now dual booting on my tablet ;)	pcuser42 (130)
1385308	2014-10-02 20:38:00	Hey Wainuitech. I have been playing with this as dual boot on my laptop. One thing I can't change is the way updates are done. I like to set mine to download but let me install. The option to change this is grayed out. Yes I am the admin.. Thanx in advance..	paulw (1826)
