    Compatible drivers are migrated automatically. In one of my case, all unsigned ADB drivers and SPTD are removed; nothing else.

    I found out that it'll be better to use local account than the ms account...

    Does anyone know if there's is a way to use a MS account, but use another account for certain apps? For example, can I use my @outlook.com account for Xbox Music while I'm using my @live.be account to sign in to my PC?

    In my experience until now its seems not possible.....the only app which you can use different account is 'Store' :( btw if you find about it please let me know :hug2:

    lol..you reminded me of what happened to metro Skype...people shouted they want Sign-out button (means they want to use different account then Windows Account...same of what you described) and MS provided them Sign-out button which says to sign-out, log-in to windows with different user/account :rofl6:

    Windows 8.1 runs well here. All hardware works fine but I could not install LAN driver from Intel so I use the default one that comes with the OS. Haven't noticed any bugs so far. Bitdefender IS 2014 installed without problems.

    Nah, I am not talking about the OP, which is out-dated and un-interesting anyway.....I am referring to naiveuser's post, what I don't know is, if you click "sign into each app separately instead", would it let you run the app inside the local account, or if it would make another user account ...... but I don't feel like starting a local account just to test it. :D

    I don't feel like testing it either:D because I'm pretty sure that that just let's you use the apps like it is now with a Windows 8 local account i.e. sign-in to each app separately. Oh well,that will have to do for now:yucky:

    I can only snap 3 apps,but I think you can do 4 if your screen resolution is high enough....
