I found that once I upgraded to Windows 8.1 I had to use my Email account to Log In to my PC.
The User has to have a Windows Account (Mine is originally Hotmail - Live - Outlook).
I can not stand having the same Password and account info from my Email account the same as my PC.
I had to reinstall Windows 8 and then I was able to use a Personalized & Custom User Name & PC Password.
*This coincides with certain software I use when I install the same titles on multiple PCs. *(Serif - WebPlusX6 - I use a common User Name and file location).
***I will not tolerate having to be constricted to a Windows Account that makes me use the same password and user name for my Email Account and my PC.
*****Therefor, WINDOWS 8.1 is useless to me at this time.
P.S. I still get rapid boot times and custom features from Windows 8. *I assigned the Power Button where the old *Start button would be & pinned shortcuts to my task bar to navigate to apps I use frequently.
