    Win 10 Password free Complete Reset on tablet


    I am trying to do a complete disk clean reset on my surface 2 tablet for my grand daughter. Everything is fine until I get to the emails, passwords etc auto BS from MS.

    I do not want a password to log in, I do not want a pin number to log in. I do not want to have to address every ad request by MS. All I want is a virgin copy of windows 10 with a password pin free log in.

    About to start of third reset to clear the rubbish.

    You can clean install as a local user (rather than with an MS account- it's a fiddle- but you will need to specify a password.

    Once that is done you can then specify skipping login to boot directly to one account (Tutorial available).
    Sign in User Account Automatically at Windows 10 Startup
    But don't think that means you should discard the password- keep it safe.

    Note that if someone wanted to use a child account, that does need an MS account, as I understand it.

    thanks Dal. Need to study, there is a lot here. We used to get on installation 'use a local account' which does not appear now. I am using windows from cloud, should I use win 10 option from machine (Recover disc??) ???

    Hi, well, it's a tablet.. maybe 32Gb, so I'll leave this to someone familiar with the restricted space.. I've only dealt with PCs not tablets..

    But consider whether whoever's responsible wants to benefit from using a child account and the type of controls.... depends how old she is, family etc..

    Manage Microsoft Family Settings for Child in Windows 10
    - has some info on child accounts- you can find more..

    Then I guess you just sort out which account to start with with him and agree that...
