I switched HD's in the 780 and Win10 boots although
its still booting into the Admin account even though
I created a user account. How do I get it to login to
the user account where I don't have to type my password
each and every time?

Now my spare drive is a dedicated Win10 HD so that if I
need to I will have a Win10 HD already formatted and ready
to go for the 780. I would like to create one for the 8500
as well.

What CD did we create? As I remember the ISO was on the
Patriot flash key and still is I believe and we downloaded
it to the 8500. So should I create a CD from that?

I still have formatted spare Win7 HD's for the 780 and
the 8500 but I want to get more spare HD's to do this.

In the right-click Start and then Run box, type

netplwiz

Click the user account you want to log into without
a password. Remember to adjust the tick box at the top,
so that it prompts (within the Netplwiz window) for
the password. You have to enter the password twice
there for confirmation. There's an Apply button.

On the next reboot, it should boot into the desktop,
as the unelevated user you created separately. It uses
the password you typed in twice in Netplwiz, as the
password to be entered automatically.



I forgot I added a new User Account on the Win7 HD after we brought it back up but forgot to add one for the Win10 HD. So I added a User Account to Win10 and followed your instructions and then clicked restart it then it went through a process of setting up again and finished OK on the desktop! I couldn't get the about:blank command to take. Every time I tried to drag the tab over to the home page icon it failed. I can work on this later when were doing the other Win 10 HD. Well, am switching the Win 7 HD back now.
