Change the account Microsoft Windows 8.1.

Original title: Change Email please help!

OK, when I turn on my computer, it shows your account with your picture and your email address. I need to change the address of e-mail attached to this computer. It's an old email and I don't use it any more. It closed down.

When I want to download something on my computer it asks me to check by typing the password. But I don't remember the password that I used when I got my computer.

I connected to Microsoft and changed my e-mail and phone numbers, but it is the online account, I want to change my default computer address and password

Hope this makes no sense. = [Super frustrated. I'm not good at this computer stuff! Help, please!

    You can change the language on Windows 7 Professional t, this is possible on Windows 7 Enterprise (volume license) and Windows 7 Ultimate edition.

    So if you want another language, buy Windows 7 Ultimate or be happy with the current language of Windows 7 Professional. ;)

  • Impossible to change the wallpaper in Windows 7 Starter.

    original title: Windows 7 Starter wallpaper!

    Seriously one you can't change the wallpaper on Windows 7 starter. Of course, that I understand that this version of Windows is expected to be very light on has to run smoothly on netbooks... but F---ing screen? Microsoft remembers that they always write operating systems right? My dinosaur, Nokia cell phone from 5 years ago allow you to change the wallpapers.  They left the gadget feature but no background screen! This really proves to me that Microsoft has absolutely no idea of what they do.  Windows 7 comes on just about all netbook now from this current holiday season.  So here's my question... Why would anyone want a netbook windows 7 when XP (earlier than prior windows operating system 7) had more features it does? Apple is looking for better and better. I don't even have a netbook for Christmas, and even though I really wanted one, I'm very happy that I don't have. I'm not going to get one at all now if its windows 7 on it.  I'll wait for the Apple tablet, and that's all.  What do you mean Microsoft?

    Hello socratesman,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

    In Windows 7 Starter, you are not allowed to change the wallpaper. You can't even replace the image by default by another because the system compares the hash of file of your background desired with the hash of the file of the default wallpaper.

    You need to upgrade to a more full version of Windows 7:

  • There's no need to change the settings for windows update on RT

    I can't find the option to change the settings for Windows Update on Surface with Win RT.

    I searched through the forums and answers, but on the left side of windows update, there is no option to change the settings on my surface.

    My windows update is configured to "Automatically install updates" and I can't change it.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Configure your WiFi connection as connection meter and then check the settings of the meter connections - it allows to disable some updates and other actions which are data, unless you run them manually.

  • How can I change the account charged for a membership family Music?

    I recently entered store credit to my account, and I fear that my family membership Music will deduct my iTunes store credit. I'm not the family Organizer, but the management of the subscription appears in my account, and receipts show the composition charged for me. So, I came to believe that Apple is charging my account for the composition. Is there a way to change the account that is in charge of members? If I cancel the automatic renewal and then register as a member of the Music of the account of the organizer of the family, all my music libraries will remain intact?
