As many others, I completed the 8.1 upgrade from 8.0 and used a Microsoft account to do so (pi$$es me off to see later how MS 'hid' the option to retain your prior account to get you to use theirs). So now I have the upgrade but have to use the Microsoft account logon, which I don't want to do. Further, for some reason the Miscrosoft account had the name Jenni Ellesburg associated to it for some reason (no idea, not my name and I didn't do it) and now my default folder and account references all say Jenni. And I am a male, wonderful.
I know you can create a local account but that requires referencing all the programs back into 'Start', reconfiguring the desktop which is now blank, and going through the whole MS outlook setup from scratch (ugh!), etc. How can I easily take the setup that was ported for the Microsoft account during the update and change that into a local account and pick up right where I left off in Win 8 (without having to do all the additional setup described above)?
Thanks!
