Windows 8.1 / hotmail advice please, with Logging in

Post by simonmlewis »

I now have a new laptop.
With my old laptop I use to login with my name and a little password.
For some reason, following an update that is now logged in via my Hotmail/Outlook login.

So with this new laptop I again create the account in the same way.

I have read that you can "Disconnect" via PC Users in win 8.1, but will this bugger up my account, or ask me for a new username and password?

I'd prefer to have my laptop on a separate login really. I didn't see much benefit to keeping it on Hotmail. As I don't use the charms thing at all.
Love PHP. Love CSS. Love learning new tricks too.
All the best from the United Kingdom.

It's a Windows Live thing. They want you to sign in with your Live account instead of a local account. I freaking hate it.

Try this.
