I mistakenly typed in (and confirmed) an erroneous email address when configuring a laptop with Windows 8 for the first time. Realizing my mistake I tried to rename the Microsoft Account with the correct email, but Microsoft will not allow me to change the account name. So I created a Local Account with the correct email address to get around this but I cannot get onto the internet or create an email account as Microsoft requires I confirm my identity by checking an email they have sent to the erroneous email address (which doesn't exist). My first impression of Windows 8 is not a favourable one!
