    Hi,

    I'm having certain issues with Windows 8.1 so I'm gonna upgrade to Windows 10 1809 and see if that fixes it.

    I just tried it in virtual machine and I was annoyed by the fact that it's mandatory to provide a password for the admin account during setup.

    Is there a way I can setup the local admin account without a password ?

    Also, what up with these security questions ? can I get rid of them too ?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

  2. Windows 10 experience: Just press enter at the password screen and then no password is set. You can remove the password in Windows 8.1 after setup with
    Code:
    net user USERNAME *
    and pressing enter two times.
