Question: Can I now delete the old hotmail account without stuffing up the new set up, which is going well N B --I can still run the old account but now minus many icons and I assume their respective programs I suppose it will delete a lot of junk if I do so but I lack the confidance to start doing so, hence the question :nerd: effie c	effie c (6856)

When you revert to a local account you will need to sign into these apps individually with your Microsoft account but everything else should stay intact. Check out this article (www.zdnet.com) for more info. Cheers,	chiefnz (545)
