1367276 2014-02-10 00:25:00 Is it possible to change the Windows login account?

For example, I'm not using abc@hotmail.com to sign in to Win 8 and would like to change it to 123@hotmail.com.

Or is it possible to change it to local account log in?

Cheers

You can use a local account, but (I think), if you want to install something from the store, you have to use a hotmail addy. Which is annoying Speedy Gonzales (78)
1367278 2014-02-10 00:34:00 Yep, easy enough - full instructions HERE (www.eightforums.com).

You may still need to enter a password for the standard W8. Its easy enough to remove the password in Pro and above.

Found This article (www.pcworld.com) relating to the password removal - dont know if it works on W8 Standard.

1367279 2014-02-10 01:25:00 It doesn't have to be Hotmail, I use a Gmail address as my online login with no problems. I rather like the way it works using the same login on multiple PCs too, just relocated a hdd and had no ownersip issues for a change :) dugimodo (138)
