setting up the computer user ID

ShawnandKathie · ‎10-08-2020

My notebook was hacked and I recently had it totally cleaned and then had Windows 10 added (not sure what version it is). Now I want set up the user ID and password for the computer. How do I do that?

If what you're talking about is setting up your first account, using initial setup, unfortunately, MS has now removed the option to sign into a local account as part of that and forces folks to use an internet account. But a way around that is to NOT be connected to the Internet when you do the initial setup -- which will then default to using a local account.
