Trying to navigate through the unfamiliar UI has been quite challenging, although I like the new look.
I had win 7x64, and upgraded to 10. Not too difficult at all. It was such a good experience, that I decided to keep win 10, and commit to a fresh install. Almost all of my programs are compatible, so why not?
Made the boot drive from a USB, formatted my hard drive, and went for it. Here's the problem:
Now, all my settings must be adjusted to my liking, one of which is the password login feature, which should be a request to implement, not automatically assumed that you need it, and will have to undo it later.
There isn't a clear way to navigate to this setting, and I had to use the cheat, "netplwiz" in the box. Then, I uncheck the box requiring a password to login, and restart to verify. Once restarted, windows automatically created another profile, with my actual name, and I must pick one of two, one having my profile picture and info, and the other having a generic avatar. Even after choosing the correct one, I still must use my password to login. I can only assume that this is because there are two profiles or "users" now, and one is incomplete. There isn't a clear way for me to delete this incomplete other profile, and no ideas for even why windows created it in the first place. I know it's something I changed or otherwise DID, but I need to undo it, somehow.
Is this clear? Confused? Me too...
Thanks in advance.
