MS accounts & user a/c names
i have a registered Windows 10 installed on my 1st hard drive but after Windows Update screwed it up i am doing a clean install onto a 2nd hard drive. but upon install after entering my license key it then prompted me for a user account name and password. I don't have one so i thought of one.. When i installed Windows 10 initially onto my 1st drive i had to enter an email address and password. both Windows installations are activated. My question is, why am i being asked to give a user name and not my microsoft email account on the install to the 2nd drive? Is my Windows license now linked in with my email address? If i ever do a clean install on my 1st drive will i be prompted for a user name and password again? if so i can use a different one? will i ever me prompted for an email address again?
