Unless you went through three \u2014 yes, three \u2014 nonstandard choices in proper sequence, you ended up providing or creating a Microsoft account to sign in to Windows. Your Microsoft account, registered with (and tracked by) Microsoft, looks like an e-mail address \u2014 and might, in fact, be a real Microsoft e-mail address (i.e., @hotmail.com, @live.com, or @outlook.com, among others).<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re already using a Microsoft account as your main Win8 account, don\u2019t fret: I\u2019ll have a few tips in next week\u2019s Windows Secrets Newsletter about reducing the privacy implications. On the other hand, if you set up a local account (typically, a Windows 8 user name that doesn\u2019t look like an e-mail address), I salute you \u2014 and also point you to next week\u2019s issue.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t yet set up your PC, I suggest that you follow the somewhat hard-to-find options and set your new Win8 system to a local account for now. You can later add Microsoft accounts till the cows come home, after you\u2019ve read the caveats and suggestions next week.<\/p>\n<p>This one-hour orientation takes into account all three major Windows 8 input methods: touch screen (which might work on your machine), keyboard (a very big help, even if it isn\u2019t literally required), and mouse\/single-point trackpad. If you have a multitouch trackpad, and its driver is working correctly \u2014 by no means a foregone conclusion \u2014 the trackpad should behave much like a touch screen.<\/p>\n<p>So get your Win8 computer cranked up, make sure the keyboard\u2019s plugged in, and follow along as we jump back and forth between the Dr. Jekyll \u2014 Mr. Hyde Win8 interfaces.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/windowssecrets.com\/top-story\/win8-boot-guide-your-first-hour-with-the-new-os\/?utm_source=PCPitstop&#038;utm_medium=email\" target=\"_blank\">Rest of the Story Here&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This excerpt appears with permission from Windows Secrets Newsletter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/techtalk.pcpitstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/win8vert.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"win8vert\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-39066\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Win8 is unique among Windows versions;
