Is there a way to create a local account on install?
Asked it to save files so it's asking for users password which parent can't remember and the router/Internet has decided to die so can't login with live account.

On the Microsoft account screen on install near the bottom there should be a link that says don't use a Microsoft account or wording to that effect, I use a local account on my Windows 8 system.

I suppose in fairness the launch of Windows 8 is a fairly significant event, so a single thread might be a bit unrealistic. If people have a *specific* question or issue, insisting that they tack it onto a single humonguous thread where many things are being discussed simultanously might not be the most effective way to help them or anyone else having a similar problem.

I agree though that there's no need for multiple generic "is-it-any-good" type threads all repeating the same stuff over and over and over and over....

edit: just saw bledd's post about a dedicated subforum, seems the obvious way to go... :)

No link , been trying some of their passwords.
Now lost the switch account button from local to live. Even restart doesn't show it again.

All people need to do is name their threads correctly. This will allow people to search. If we still have a page full of Windows 8 threads, then so be it.

Moving Windows threads out of the Windows forum is just nonsense and a waste of time. It'll die down naturally in a week or so. The thing only launched yesterday for crying out loud.
