Restored my Previous OS from Windows 10 Inside Preview

[Jesse Williams]

Hi, I restored my previous OS from Windows 10 Insider Preview back to Windows 8.1. Its saying I need to verify my identity. But, now it won't let me sign in. The screenshot below fully explains what is going on.

Jesse, no help but I would edit out your email address in that pic.

Go to windows credentials under Credential Manager in Control panel and delete the email account (MicrosoftAccount:user=your@email.com). Re sign and it will ask you for your email password.

Okay. Thank you! One of those updates wanted me to install the Windows Insider Preview. So, I did. But, I don't want to keep 10 until the finished and fully baked version gets here. So, thankfully, there was an option to go back to the previous OS.

There is if you have the set of Restore discs that you made when you originally got your computer. That is why I always make a disk image of a installed OS about every 3 months. So that if I have issues, I can install a previous copy and only have to load a small set of updates.
