Password settings
In the past you could set your windows password to never expire. I have not found how to do that in Windows 10, can anyone help me with how this is done in Win 10?

Hello AFBrooks, and welcome to Ten Forums. :)
Passwords are set to never expire by default in Windows 10, but you can also use an option in the tutorial below in Windows 10.

You must have Windows 10 Home edition installed then. Local Security Policy is not included in that edition.

The tutorial below can help show you how to open an elevated command prompt in Windows 10.

I would recommend to use the command below from step 4 in OPTION TWO of the tutorial I posted earlier. :)
wmic path Win32_UserAccount set PasswordExpires=False

I do have Windows home edition. While logged in as an administrator I opened the elevated command prompt and entered the command above receiving a response that all user passwords will not expire.
What is the next level of Win 10 and is there a cost?
Thanks

You're most welcome. :)
The next edition level would be Windows 10 Pro. You could directly upgrade to Pro using the method in the tutorial below without losing anything, but it does cost about $100 to purchase Pro from Microsoft during the process.
