passwords - Change Windows 8 login from Live id to local account


Windows 8 asks for my Live login details when I login - I'd prefer to use a local password separate from my Live password. Is it possible to use a local password?


What do I lose out on if I don't use a Live account password?



Answer



You lose out by not being able to Download apps or the updated content of the apps, or sync between PCs like favorites and history




  • Drag your mouse to the right hand of the screen so the menu pops up




  • Click Change PC Settings




  • Click Users




  • Under the Users Menu select Switch To A Local Account on the right hand side.




  • This will prompt you to create a new local user
