Upgrade from Windows 7 created Local Account-Now What?
I'm on a topic that is uncharted territory for me. Here is some background.
I have a laptop from my Mom how just recently passed away. The machine had Windows 7 and was upgraded to Windows 10 Home edition.
When it upgraded it only created a Local Account which is probably what was expected. It does not prompt me for a password, it is like netplwiz has been set so you don't have to log in, it just takes you to the desktop.
I want to reset the Laptop but I'm not sure what to expect regarding the Microsoft Account. I highly doubt there is a MS account on this machine, if there is, I don't know what the password or the account email address is. If the machine is reset will it keep the local account or will I be asked to login/create a Microsoft account?
Has anyone had a situation like this before? Any suggestions or tips you can give me before I reset the laptop?
Thanks,
Greg
