[QUOTE="oldschool, post: 827896, member: 71262"] I am setting up my new laptop and M$ forced me to create an M$ account and a PIN :mad: and said I could switch later, delete M$ account, etc. I cannot for the life of me remove PIN and setup a password for Admin account because it asks for current password which I don't have (because M$ forced me to set up a PIN.) :mad: I'm currently on Windows 10 Home 1809 after a bunch of updates, and I have features not present on my previous machines, e.g. Core Isolation, Secure Boot, etc. I see no option to disable these and my boot time is slower than previous machines. I don't get what's going on here. Any help would be appreciated. :emoji_pray::emoji_pray::barefoot::barefoot::barefoot: [/QUOTE]
