    Windows 8 - Use machine account to sign in

    I've recently bought a Windows 8 laptop and I seem to have been corralled into using my Windows Live Id to log in to the machine.

    I really do not like this fpor a number of reasons and was wondering if there was a way of logging in old-stylie, i.e. with a machine account.

    Have you tried using google at all?

    For example...

      I did have a look yes but I'm obviously not very good with my keyword searches - couldn't find anything of any use at all!

      Thankyou for that.

        Indeed... 'how to log on to windows 8 locally' is pretty a pretty complicated search algorithm....
