Hi guys!
I installed Win8CP on my laptop, over my Win7 pro. During the last stage of installation, it asked me to use my Hotmail credentials, but it was impossible because I didn't had Internet connection in that moment. It was mentioned that I can do that later, so I skipped it and used my current User Profile password and Name (Administrator).
When I installed Win8CP, and tried to swich from local to my Hotmail (Microsoft) account, it doesn't realy switch it, just change my name to email address and that wasn't enough because I see on SkyDrive application which says "To use SkyDrive, change your account settings", which is very strange.
But, I tried to create another User on my laptop (NB: I have only one account, with Administrator rights) and that new user profile can associate itself with Hotmail credentials, I can see my Hotmail name and picture on the right corner in Metro and I can use all applications, including SkyDrive.
So, does anybody had simmilar problem and is there a solution for this situation? I ask because all my applications, files and settings are under my primary Profile and it will be very hard to switch to another User.
And, is there any possibility for reinstalation of Win8CP to have my Hotmail (Microsoft) account associated to Win8CP, but to preserve all files as I did when changing from Win7 to Win8CP?
Best,
Ivan S. V.
