I just went through that with a win7 machine and the machine needs to have a password. The credentials are the user name and password and a blank field for password is not acceptable I take it you are addressing #3? Since BCGA is a Win 8.1 machine and I have both a Microsoft account and a local account, which do I use? Oh...probably the one I use when I sit at it and log in, right? (It's been a foggy day today!!) Thanks. Yes, your regular log-in account |
