No longer home install#
Best to install with no network connection and do any updates needed after the install.Need more help or advice? I’ve moved in with someone who already has a licence
No longer home windows 10#
I would consider ripping the COA from the discarded system if you use this process.Īs others have said, disconnecting the network cable from a system during a Windows 10 Home install will allow the old user-creation method.
No longer home upgrade#
It is very likely one can find a Windows 7 Pro OEM COA from a system being discarded and feature upgrade a Windows 10 Home system to Pro, which works just as well as the full licensing. It has been noted that OEM Windows 7 keys will work just fine to license a system you install Windows 10 on (provided that key has not been used to activate a Windows 10 install on other hardware). One little note (since this is for Windows Home I’ll assume you’re not corporate I would NOT do this for corporate networks)… However my concern is that does removing a primary account make a difference?
No longer home how to#
If the owner of that brand new Lenovo IdeaPad S340-15IWL Windows 10 Home is willing to let me remove the Microsoft account, is there a tutorial on how to do that safely?ĮDIT: It just dawned on me I should explain why I’m asking that question since removing an account is easy enough to do. I shouldn’t have been surprised though as too many times such researches don’t even address the issue at hand. I thought I had missed the page in which I could have selected Offline account and that isn’t likely for me to miss that option.Īfterward I tried researching what happened and wasn’t able to find out that the option to create an offline account up-front isn’t available during an install.

In June I set up a brand new Lenovo IdeaPad S340-15IWL Windows 10 Home where I volunteer at our Senior Center.Īlthough I wanted to create the primary account as an offline account, I was forced to create a Microsoft account.
