I have a Hotmail account The name & password are the same as those I use to get into this W10 laptop.

Can I remove these & use new ones without complicating things? If Yes Then How Please. PJ

1424098 2016-08-05 23:35:00 Why do you want to change these? You are likely using your Microsoft account credentials for both. That's how it is supposed to work.

If you really wanted to, you could change your win 10 login to a local login from Notifications/All Settings/Accounts/Sign in with a local account instead.

Because Ive seen users locked out of PC's because of ~live~ password issues .
Local a/c passwords can easily be removed if forgotten, online linked passwords : often a real issue to get that reset .

Live,linked Win logins : Its the way MS wants things done, that doesnt make it the best way :)
