Windows 8 identity verification to perform activation.

I have a new computer with Windows 8 preinstalled. In the implementation, I used a local e-mail address and there is not an address MS email such as Hotmail, Live or Outlook. I noticed a red X in the notification bar telling me that I had to finish setting up my account. This and several tiles leading to a page saying that I should get an email of validation of Ms. Never have received this on the local account used in the original configuration. Windows 8 doesn't let me change the identity of my MS one e-mail address. I can not even log into the account e-mail MS to explore because of the screen that is displayed saying that I need to confirm my identity with the email I did not. (I can access the email from MS if I open it in Firefox).

I clicked on send e-mail several times. Sometimes it is said he managed and sometimes, he says that he cannot send and try again later.

Is there a solution to this. I spent several hours looking online, nothing helps.

  5. Select switch to a local account and follow the steps, it will allow you to be able to connect to Windows as you would with any other versions of Windows.

Switch back to a Microsoft Account using the new address:

You can choose if you want to use Microsoft Account or a Normal user account:

  1. Press Windows + I to open the settings.
    Select change PC settings.
  2. Select users
  3. On the right side, it will show your current account, with an option that says to switch to a Microsoft account
  4. Once you have configured your Microsoft account (it takes a Windows Live ID (Hotmail or MSN, Outlook.com) account.
  5. Enter the new email address and it will change the email address.

  • Again - the EULA allows to keep Windows XP after the installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7

    The EULA allows to keep Windows XP after installation and activation of a retail upgrade to Windows 7?
    I understand that the EULA (EULA) prohibits the USE of the operating system upgraded - must also be removed from the system?

    I intend to upgrade a pre-installed Windows Media Center 2006 on a Gateway computer to a level of detail to Windows 7 Pro 64 - bit.  I am adding a new hard drive, as this case nears end of life... and plan to install the operating system upgraded to the new HD - because I have XP 32 bit to Win7-64 bit... and a "custom" installation is necessary, anyway.

    This will result in an operating system XP on the old hard drive and the new OS Win7 Pro 64 - bit on the new drive.  There have been suggestions that the answer to this question is simply to remove the "old" operating system, after activating the 'new' Windows 7.  However - I see that any installation (or REINSTALLATION) of the operating system upgraded to Win 7 requires the previous XP to be "present on the computer.

    QUESTION: as long as I don't 'USE' the BONE replaced/implemented to date, I am in compliance with the EULA?  Alternatively, do I install "over" this Windows Media Player OS - on the old, due to lack of hard drive?

    The Media Center EULA States: «...» "15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After you upgrade, you can no longer use the software upgrade of. ... ', but is silent (as far as I can find by reading the EULA on the question of if software upgrade HAVE to be 'destroyed'.)

    (See: http://download.microsoft.com/Documents/UseTerms/Windows%207_Professional_English_7bb89e9f-20ea-4555-892f-394539ec1090.pdf "")

    Thanks for your review (a reference to the appropriate Microsoft documentation would be nice too)
    John

    You said above, «...» "You will be able to upgrade to Windows XP, it is a qualification license... »

    And I assume you are talking about my software Windows XP Media Center Edition (currently installed), as being a "qualification licence".

    That is right.

    Are we in agreement that a copy preinstalled OEM of Windows XP Media Center Edition IS extendable with a 'detail' update the license for Windows 7?

    His qualification, but you can't make a real room upgrade, you can do a custom installation. See the previous post on how to migrate from Windows XP to Windows 7. An upgrade maintains the personal files, settings and installed applications.

    I understand the ban on using the OEM OS software OR the upgrade replacement software on one computer other than the one on which it was originally installed by the OEM.

    I also understand that I cannot use the "improved" XP Media Center software, once the upgrade of Windows 7 has occurred.

    The rest to determine if it NEEDS to be deleted or replaced... you have no guidance on this issue?

    Well, when you perform a custom installation, in essence, it is deleted or replaced. Then, it is part of the upgrade license. It's like it becomes a mind is more tangible, but always there as a base to which the upgrade license may exist on your system.

    I tried to create new administrator user accounts and the problem persists.
    I am also unable to delete some files. Internet Explorer would be my best and later example. I ran microsoft update, it installed IE10, and I was unable to start IE. I have not found in the list of uninstaller, so I tried to delete the files manually but Icould do not, that I needed approval from "TrustedInstaller".

  • Sfc/scannow error: Windows Resource Protection could not perform requested operation

    Hello

    I'm having a problem. All of my windows files are corrupted. When I changed the theme, it's always the basic theme of load. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I never have it patched with Universal Theme Patcher. I know that this will change the windows file, and windows he refused. I'm sorry windows.
    So I want to make a repair. I ran everything. When I ran the system restore, it is said that the antivirus blocked the system restore. I have search on this site, but there is no help. I take the Startup Repair, nothing changes. So my last hope is run cmd and type sfc/scannow.
    And then cmd stop the scan and says Windows Resource Protection could not perform requested operation. I'm looking for help on this site, I have nothing. I did not help
    Please help me. I don't want to reinstall my Windows. Any ideas are welcome. But when no one can help me, what should do?

  • Windows does not work with the active Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant service

    Hello

    I spent several hours today a behavior very strange and problematic of the debugging windows. It suddenly started doing this:

    -After starting, I log in with my password. None of the applications that are supposed to start on windows logon do not start. Taskbar shows nothing. All that requires administrative privileges performer does nothing. If I try to launch msconfig.exe it shows nothing. If I try to run the Task Manager it shows nothing. If I try CTRL + SHIFT + ESC Task manager does not appear. CTRL + ALT + DELETE, and then on the task manager - he does not appear. If I try to run-> taskmgr.exe it does not appear.

    I can do pretty much anything.

    So what I did was run the safe mode and disabled all services through msconfig. WIndows then start regularly. I tried to activate all the services of 3rd third-party and microsoft services disabled and he did run. While I started activation of microsoft services in a mode of binary search until I found that I can have all the services EXCEPT for Microsoft account Sign-In Assistant. If I activate this one, this non-fonctionnalite occurs. If I turn it off, windows are running ok.

    What is going on? I need this service or can I leave this option unchecked forever so that I can use my laptop?
