Hi, If you are using Windows Hello, for a PIN for example, you need to turn that off first. Settings, Accounts, Sign In Options, and remove any PINs, then turn off Windows Hello. Next, go to the Run menu with Windows R and type without the quotes: “control userpasswords2” and press enter. Now untick the box that says something like Users Must Enter A Password, and hit Apply. Job done. All the best Steve

Subject: How to turn off/disable the log on screen so you do not have to enter a password, each time you start or restart the computer I think it was the October major release of Windows 10, 2020, Microsoft took away the ability in the n e t p l w i z program, the function to turn off/disable the log on screen. I need to reinstall Windows 10 using the latest release of the Windows.iso file. How can I turn off/disable the log on screen, so I do not have to enter a password each time I turn on or, restart a computer. By the way, my system will be set up as a local machine, therefore, I will be using my own user name and Password I will create during the installation process, not my Microsoft account information.

After giving it some thought, it turned out to be very easy to figure out why they would do this.
It's all about money! If you do the upgrade install Microsoft is giving you Windows 11 for free, but if you do a clean install instead of an upgrade install you will need to purchase a product key so you are giving Microsoft some money so they will turn the other cheek if your system doesn't meet those requirements.

6th and 7th generation processors will run Windows 11 and it runs
extremely stable on them. Microsoft came out with an announcement on
august 28, 2021 stating that Windows 11 if done as a clean install would
bypass the system check for the processor, TPM and Secure boot
requirements and would allow the operating system to be installed. I've
even been able to get it installed onto some 5th generation machines,
but it is all dependant on who the manufacturer is on the machine.
TPM 2.0 was first introduced in august of 2014 and most machines that
were a part of the 2015 year models had the TPM 2.0 available, but it
was turned off in the bios as Windows 7 will not run with TPM 2.0 turned
on. All machines that were 2016 models had the TPM 2.0 as a part of the
system as all manufacturers required it by that calendar years models;
but it did not have to be enabled as some machines were still being
released with Windows 7 on them.

If you have an Intel processor that's earlier than 8th generation

I don't know of a single machine that started out life during the
Windows 7 era that could be upgraded to Windows 11, although
virtually all of them could be (and still can be) upgraded to
Windows 10.

What do you mean by your BIOS being fixed? Do you
mean that the Boot sequence has been changed, so you can boot either from a
CD/DVD disk or, USB drive? You still need to use software, to copy the
information contained in the Windows10.iso file, to the bootable media. You
cannot boot directly from an .isofile nor,
can you install Windows directly from a Windows.iso file.

The first thing you should do, if it hasn't
already been done, to have someone with vision, who knows about
computers, to go into the system's BIOS and change the boot sequence, for
example, the boot sequence for one of my computers which still has a DVD is:
CD/DVD, USB, C.
If you are going to install Windows 10 from a
DVD, you will need to instal a program such as iMgBurn and, use it to copy
the files contained in the Windows10.iso file to a DVD.
If you are going to install Windows 10 from a

First, you should use F2 to rename the ISO
you just got to something like,
windows10October2022.iso
so you have a reference of its

If anyone wants to try WinNtSetup with Dave's
windows 10 image, or any other version of windows, here's a link to the
WinNtSetup utility that I just got from Github.
You can also install windows to USB with this
tool:

Here's a really good YouTube by a gal named Julia
on making a VHDX of windows 11, but it can be used for any operating system,
using a tool called WinNTsetup.

Here's something interesting, this is a solution
for people who can't launch a hypervisor from within windows.
The steps below allow someone to take an operating
system that was created with a hypervisor, windows 10 would be an example in
windows 7, and you add the virtual installation to windows boot menu through
disk management.
Also, folks can activate "network boot" and have a
VHDX in their router's USB port and boot to that instead of the regular
operating system.

Native Boot allows you to create a virtual hard
disk (VHDX), install Windows to it, and then boot it up, either on your PC
side-by-side with your existing
installation, or on a new device.
A
native-boot VHDX can be used as the running operating system on designated
hardware without any other parent operating system. This differs from a
scenario
where a VHDX is connected to a virtual machine on a computer that
has a parent operating system.
Native boot for Windows 10 or later
requires the .vhdx format, not the .vhd format.
VHDXs can be applied to PCs
or devices that have no other installations of Windows, without a virtual
machine or hypervisor. (A hypervisor is a layer of
software under the
operating system that runs virtual computers.) This enables greater flexibility
in workload distribution because a single set of tools
can be used to manage
images for virtual machines and designated hardware.
You can also deploy the
VHDX to a PC that already has Windows installed on it, and use a boot menu to
select between the existing version of Windows, or
the version on the
VHD.
To learn more about using VHDXs in an enterprise environment, see
Understanding Virtual Hard Disks with Native Boot.
Prerequisites
Prerequisites
list of 4 items
• A technician PC with the
Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) tools installed on
it.
• A generalized Windows image (.WIM file). To learn more, see
Sysprep (Generalize) a Windows installation.
• A bootable Windows PE
drive. To learn more, see
WinPE: Create USB Bootable drive.
• A
destination PC or device on which to install the VHDX. This device requires
30 gigabytes (GB) or more of free disk space. You can install the
VHDX
to a device already running other operating system installations, or as
the only operating system on a device.

Step 1: Create a VHDX
from diskpart
Step 1: Create a VHDX from diskpart
On the technician
PC:
list of 5 items
1. From the Command Prompt, open
Diskpart.
cmd
Copy
diskpart
2. Create and prepare a new VHDX. In
this example, we create a 25 GB fixed-type VHDX.
cmd
Copy
create vdisk
file=C:\windows.vhdx maximum=25600 type=fixed
3. Attach the VHDX. This adds
the VHDX as a disk to the storage controller on the
host.
cmd
Copy
attach vdisk
4. Create a partition for the Windows
files, format it, and assign it a drive letter. This drive letter will appear in
File Explorer.
cmd
Copy
create partition primary
format quick
label=vhdx
assign letter=v
5. Exit Diskpart
cmd
Copy
exit
list
end
Step 2: Apply a Windows image to the VHD
Step 2: Apply a Windows
image to the VHD
On your technician PC, apply a generalized Windows image to
the primary partition of the VHDX that you created and attached in
Step
1.
cmd
Copy
Dism /Apply-Image /ImageFile:install.wim /index:1
/ApplyDir:V:\
Step 3: Detach the VHD, copy it to a new device, and attach
it (optional)
Step 3: Detach the VHD, copy it to a new device, and attach it

You can deploy the VHDX to a device that already has a copy of
Windows installed on it, or you can clean and prepare the destination PC's hard
drive to
use the VHD.
Detach the VHDX and save it to a network share or
storage drive

1. Use diskpart to detach the virtual disk from your
technician PC.
cmd
Copy
diskpart
select vdisk
file=C:\windows.vhdx
detach vdisk
exit
2. Copy the VHDX to a network
share or removable storage drive. The following maps a drive letter to a network
share, creates a directory for the VHD,
and then copies the
VHD.
cmd
Copy
net use n: \\server\share\

1. Use your bootable WinPE key to
boot
the destination PC to WinPE.
2. Clean and prepare the destination PC's hard
drive. Create a system partition (S), and a main partition (M) where the VHDX
will be stored.

exit
3. Connect to the network drive or
storage location where you copied the VHDX in
step
3.2.
cmd
Copy
net use N: \\server\share
4. Copy the VHDX from the
network drive or storage location to the destination PC's main
partition.
Copy
copy N:\VHDs\Windows.vhdx M:

list of 2 items
1. While still booted into WinPE,
attach your VHDX to the destination PC.
cmd
Copy
diskpart
select
vdisk file=M:\windows.vhdx
attach vdisk
2. Identify the attached VHDX's
volume letter. (Optional: Change it to another letter that makes more sense, for
example V, and leave the diskpart command
line open for the next
step).
cmd
Copy
list volume
select volume 3
assign
letter=v
list end
Step 4: Add a boot entry
Step 4: Add a boot
entry
list of 4 items
1. From your destination PC, open Diskpart (if
necessary) and identify the drive letters of the VHDX and the system partition,
for example, V and S.
cmd
Copy
diskpart
list volume
exit
2.
Add a boot entry to the device. You can add multiple VHDX files using this
method.
UEFI:
Copy
V:\
cd v:\windows\system32
bcdboot v:\windows
/s S: /f UEFI
BIOS:
Copy
V:
cd v:\windows\system32
bcdboot
v:\windows /s S: /f BIOS
3. Remove the WinPE USB key.
4. Restart the
destination PC.
If there's only one boot entry, the device immediately boots
to Windows. If there's more than one boot entry, you'll see a boot menu where
you can choose
between the available versions of Windows on the
device.

What do you mean by your BIOS being fixed? Do you
mean that the Boot sequence has been changed, so you can boot either from a
CD/DVD disk or, USB drive? You still need to use software, to copy the
information contained in the Windows10.iso file, to the bootable media. You
cannot boot directly from an .isofile nor,
can you install Windows directly from a Windows.iso file.

The first thing you should do, if it hasn't
already been done, to have someone with vision, who knows about
computers, to go into the system's BIOS and change the boot sequence, for
example, the boot sequence for one of my computers which still has a DVD is:
CD/DVD, USB, C.
If you are going to install Windows 10 from a
DVD, you will need to instal a program such as iMgBurn and, use it to copy the
files contained in the Windows10.iso file to a DVD.
If you are going to install Windows 10 from a

in the Windows10.iso file to a USB memory stick.

Joe,
First, you should use F2 to rename the ISO
you just got to something like,
windows10October2022.iso
so you have a reference of its
version.
Also, then you should upload it to Nancy's
Open Drive.
I think there's a folder there
called
software
and then others can have access to
it.

As I said in my original posting, I
downloaded the latest Windows 10 .ISO yesterday. Last night, I
installed a fresh installation of Windows 10 as a local machine,
setting up my own user name and password.
After I completed the set up and
connected the ethernet cable and downloaded any downloads, I use the
command in the command line window as an administrator:
control userpasswords2
The Line "Users must enter a user name and password to
use this computer. check box checked ", is no longer there.
I believe, Microsoft, took this option
away in the 21 H1 release of Windows 10.
Now, if the only way to disable the
necessity of entering a password or pin code, is to remove them,then,
I will have to go that route. If possible, I would prefer doing that,
rather than creating a new administrator account, then removing the
original administrator account.

Joe,
First, you should use F2 to rename the ISO
you just got to something like,
windows10October2022.iso
so you have a reference of its
version.
Also, then you should upload it to Nancy's
Open Drive.
I think there's a folder there
called
software
and then others can have access to
it.

As I said in my original posting, I
downloaded the latest Windows 10 .ISO yesterday. Last night, I
installed a fresh installation of Windows 10 as a local machine,
setting up my own user name and password.
After I completed the set up and
connected the ethernet cable and downloaded any downloads, I use the
command in the command line window as an administrator:
control userpasswords2
The Line "Users must enter a user name and password to
use this computer. check box checked ", is no longer there.
I believe, Microsoft, took this option
away in the 21 H1 release of Windows 10.
Now, if the only way to disable the
necessity of entering a password or pin code, is to remove them,then,
I will have to go that route. If possible, I would prefer doing that,
rather than creating a new administrator account, then removing the
original administrator account.

It's
been working as long as Windows 10 has been around, to my

Here's a really good YouTube by a gal named Julia
on making a VHDX of windows 11, but it can be used for any operating system,
using a tool called WinNTsetup.

Here's something interesting, this is a solution
for people who can't launch a hypervisor from within windows.
The steps below allow someone to take an operating
system that was created with a hypervisor, windows 10 would be an example in
windows 7, and you add the virtual installation to windows boot menu through
disk management.
Also, folks can activate "network boot" and have a
VHDX in their router's USB port and boot to that instead of the regular
operating system.

Native Boot allows you to create a virtual hard
disk (VHDX), install Windows to it, and then boot it up, either on your PC
side-by-side with your existing
installation, or on a new device.
A
native-boot VHDX can be used as the running operating system on designated
hardware without any other parent operating system. This differs from a
scenario
where a VHDX is connected to a virtual machine on a computer that
has a parent operating system.
Native boot for Windows 10 or later
requires the .vhdx format, not the .vhd format.
VHDXs can be applied to PCs
or devices that have no other installations of Windows, without a virtual
machine or hypervisor. (A hypervisor is a layer of
software under the
operating system that runs virtual computers.) This enables greater flexibility
in workload distribution because a single set of tools
can be used to manage
images for virtual machines and designated hardware.
You can also deploy the
VHDX to a PC that already has Windows installed on it, and use a boot menu to
select between the existing version of Windows, or
the version on the
VHD.
To learn more about using VHDXs in an enterprise environment, see
Understanding Virtual Hard Disks with Native Boot.
Prerequisites
Prerequisites
list of 4 items
• A technician PC with the
Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) tools installed on
it.
• A generalized Windows image (.WIM file). To learn more, see
Sysprep (Generalize) a Windows installation.
• A bootable Windows PE
drive. To learn more, see
WinPE: Create USB Bootable drive.
• A
destination PC or device on which to install the VHDX. This device requires
30 gigabytes (GB) or more of free disk space. You can install the
VHDX
to a device already running other operating system installations, or as
the only operating system on a device.
list end
Step 1: Create a VHDX
from diskpart
Step 1: Create a VHDX from diskpart
On the technician
PC:
list of 5 items
1. From the Command Prompt, open
Diskpart.
cmd
Copy
diskpart
2. Create and prepare a new VHDX. In
this example, we create a 25 GB fixed-type VHDX.
cmd
Copy
create vdisk
file=C:\windows.vhdx maximum=25600 type=fixed
3. Attach the VHDX. This adds
the VHDX as a disk to the storage controller on the
host.
cmd
Copy
attach vdisk
4. Create a partition for the Windows
files, format it, and assign it a drive letter. This drive letter will appear in
File Explorer.
cmd
Copy
create partition primary
format quick
label=vhdx
assign letter=v
5. Exit Diskpart
cmd
Copy
exit
list
end
Step 2: Apply a Windows image to the VHD
Step 2: Apply a Windows
image to the VHD
On your technician PC, apply a generalized Windows image to
the primary partition of the VHDX that you created and attached in
Step
1.
cmd
Copy
Dism /Apply-Image /ImageFile:install.wim /index:1
/ApplyDir:V:\
Step 3: Detach the VHD, copy it to a new device, and attach
it (optional)
Step 3: Detach the VHD, copy it to a new device, and attach it

You can deploy the VHDX to a device that already has a copy of
Windows installed on it, or you can clean and prepare the destination PC's hard
drive to
use the VHD.
Detach the VHDX and save it to a network share or
storage drive

list of 2 items
1. Use diskpart to detach the virtual disk from your
technician PC.
cmd
Copy
diskpart
select vdisk
file=C:\windows.vhdx
detach vdisk
exit
2. Copy the VHDX to a network
share or removable storage drive. The following maps a drive letter to a network
share, creates a directory for the VHD,
and then copies the
VHD.
cmd
Copy
net use n: \\server\share\

1. Use your bootable WinPE key to
boot
the destination PC to WinPE.
2. Clean and prepare the destination PC's hard
drive. Create a system partition (S), and a main partition (M) where the VHDX
will be stored.

1. While still booted into WinPE,
attach your VHDX to the destination PC.
cmd
Copy
diskpart
select
vdisk file=M:\windows.vhdx
attach vdisk
2. Identify the attached VHDX's
volume letter. (Optional: Change it to another letter that makes more sense, for
example V, and leave the diskpart command
line open for the next
step).
cmd
Copy
list volume
select volume 3
assign
letter=v
list end
Step 4: Add a boot entry
Step 4: Add a boot
entry
list of 4 items
1. From your destination PC, open Diskpart (if
necessary) and identify the drive letters of the VHDX and the system partition,
for example, V and S.
cmd
Copy
diskpart
list volume
exit
2.
Add a boot entry to the device. You can add multiple VHDX files using this
method.
UEFI:
Copy
V:\
cd v:\windows\system32
bcdboot v:\windows
/s S: /f UEFI
BIOS:
Copy
V:
cd v:\windows\system32
bcdboot
v:\windows /s S: /f BIOS
3. Remove the WinPE USB key.
4. Restart the
destination PC.
If there's only one boot entry, the device immediately boots
to Windows. If there's more than one boot entry, you'll see a boot menu where
you can choose
between the available versions of Windows on the
device.

What do you mean by your BIOS being fixed? Do you
mean that the Boot sequence has been changed, so you can boot either from a
CD/DVD disk or, USB drive? You still need to use software, to copy the
information contained in the Windows10.iso file, to the bootable media. You
cannot boot directly from an .isofile nor,
can you install Windows directly from a Windows.iso file.

The first thing you should do, if it hasn't
already been done, to have someone with vision, who knows about
computers, to go into the system's BIOS and change the boot sequence, for
example, the boot sequence for one of my computers which still has a DVD is:
CD/DVD, USB, C.
If you are going to install Windows 10 from a
DVD, you will need to instal a program such as iMgBurn and, use it to copy the
files contained in the Windows10.iso file to a DVD.
If you are going to install Windows 10 from a
USB, you will need to instal software which will copy the files contained
in the Windows10.iso file to a USB memory stick.

Add a boot entry to the device. You can add multiple VHDX files using this
method.
UEFI:
Copy
V:\
cd v:\windows\system32
bcdboot v:\windows
/s S: /f UEFI
BIOS:
Copy
V:
cd v:\windows\system32
bcdboot
v:\windows /s S: /f BIOS
3. Remove the WinPE USB key.
4. Restart the
destination PC.
If there's only one boot entry, the device immediately boots
to Windows. If there's more than one boot entry, you'll see a boot menu where
you can choose
between the available versions of Windows on the
device.

Joseph:
What do you mean by your BIOS being fixed? Do you
mean that the Boot sequence has been changed, so you can boot either from a
CD/DVD disk or, USB drive? You still need to use software, to copy the
information contained in the Windows10.iso file, to the bootable media. You
cannot boot directly from an .isofile nor,
can you install Windows directly from a Windows.iso file.

The first thing you should do, if it hasn't
already been done, to have someone with vision, who knows about
computers, to go into the system's BIOS and change the boot sequence, for
example, the boot sequence for one of my computers which still has a DVD is:
CD/DVD, USB, C.
If you are going to install Windows 10 from a
DVD, you will need to instal a program such as iMgBurn and, use it to copy the
files contained in the Windows10.iso file to a DVD.
If you are going to install Windows 10 from a

in the Windows10.iso file to a USB memory stick.

Joe,
First, you should use F2 to rename the ISO
you just got to something like,
windows10October2022.iso
so you have a reference of its
version.
Also, then you should upload it to Nancy's
Open Drive.
I think there's a folder there
called
software
and then others can have access to
it.

Here's something interesting, this is a solution
for people who can't launch a hypervisor from within windows.
The steps below allow someone to take an operating
system that was created with a hypervisor, windows 10 would be an example in
windows 7, and you add the virtual installation to windows boot menu through
disk management.
Also, folks can activate "network boot" and have a
VHDX in their router's USB port and boot to that instead of the regular
operating system.
The info is below the link to the
page:

Native Boot allows you to create a virtual hard
disk (VHDX), install Windows to it, and then boot it up, either on your PC
side-by-side with your existing
installation, or on a new device.
A
native-boot VHDX can be used as the running operating system on designated
hardware without any other parent operating system. This differs from a
scenario
where a VHDX is connected to a virtual machine on a computer that
has a parent operating system.
Native boot for Windows 10 or later
requires the .vhdx format, not the .vhd format.
VHDXs can be applied to PCs
or devices that have no other installations of Windows, without a virtual
machine or hypervisor. (A hypervisor is a layer of
software under the
operating system that runs virtual computers.) This enables greater flexibility
in workload distribution because a single set of tools
can be used to manage
images for virtual machines and designated hardware.
You can also deploy the
VHDX to a PC that already has Windows installed on it, and use a boot menu to
select between the existing version of Windows, or
the version on the
VHD.
To learn more about using VHDXs in an enterprise environment, see
Understanding Virtual Hard Disks with Native Boot.
Prerequisites
Prerequisites
list of 4 items
• A technician PC with the
Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) tools installed on
it.
• A generalized Windows image (.WIM file). To learn more, see
Sysprep (Generalize) a Windows installation.
• A bootable Windows PE
drive. To learn more, see
WinPE: Create USB Bootable drive.
• A
destination PC or device on which to install the VHDX. This device requires
30 gigabytes (GB) or more of free disk space. You can install the
VHDX
to a device already running other operating system installations, or as
the only operating system on a device.
list end
Step 1: Create a VHDX
from diskpart
Step 1: Create a VHDX from diskpart
On the technician
PC:
list of 5 items
1. From the Command Prompt, open
Diskpart.
cmd
Copy
diskpart
2. Create and prepare a new VHDX. In
this example, we create a 25 GB fixed-type VHDX.
cmd
Copy
create vdisk
file=C:\windows.vhdx maximum=25600 type=fixed
3. Attach the VHDX. This adds
the VHDX as a disk to the storage controller on the
host.
cmd
Copy
attach vdisk
4. Create a partition for the Windows
files, format it, and assign it a drive letter. This drive letter will appear in
File Explorer.
cmd
Copy
create partition primary
format quick
label=vhdx
assign letter=v
5. Exit Diskpart
cmd
Copy
exit
list
end
Step 2: Apply a Windows image to the VHD
Step 2: Apply a Windows
image to the VHD
On your technician PC, apply a generalized Windows image to
the primary partition of the VHDX that you created and attached in
Step
1.
cmd
Copy
Dism /Apply-Image /ImageFile:install.wim /index:1
/ApplyDir:V:\
Step 3: Detach the VHD, copy it to a new device, and attach
it (optional)
Step 3: Detach the VHD, copy it to a new device, and attach it
(optional)
You can deploy the VHDX to a device that already has a copy of
Windows installed on it, or you can clean and prepare the destination PC's hard
drive to
use the VHD.
Detach the VHDX and save it to a network share or
storage drive
Detach the VHDX and save it to a network share or storage
drive
list of 2 items
1. Use diskpart to detach the virtual disk from your
technician PC.
cmd
Copy
diskpart
select vdisk
file=C:\windows.vhdx
detach vdisk
exit
2. Copy the VHDX to a network
share or removable storage drive. The following maps a drive letter to a network
share, creates a directory for the VHD,
and then copies the
VHD.
cmd
Copy
net use n: \\server\share\
md N:\VHDs
copy
C:\windows.VHDX n:\VHDs\
list end
Clean and prepare a new device for
native boot
Clean and prepare a new device for native boot
On your
destination PC:
list of 4 items
1. Use your bootable WinPE key to
boot
the destination PC to WinPE.
2. Clean and prepare the destination PC's hard
drive. Create a system partition (S), and a main partition (M) where the VHDX
will be stored.
UEFI:
cmd
Copy
diskpart
select disk
0
clean
convert gpt
rem == 1. System partition
=========================
create partition efi size=100
format quick
fs=fat32 label="System"
assign letter="S"
rem == 2. Microsoft Reserved
(MSR) partition =======
create partition msr size=128
rem == 3. Main
partition ===========================
create partition primary
format
quick fs=ntfs label="Main"
assign
letter="M"
exit
BIOS:
cmd
Copy
diskpart
select disk
0
clean
rem == 1. System partition ======================
create
partition primary size=100
format quick fs=ntfs label="System"
assign
letter="S"
active
rem == 2. Main partition
========================
create partition primary
format quick fs=ntfs
label="Main"
assign letter="M"
exit
3. Connect to the network drive or
storage location where you copied the VHDX in
step
3.2.
cmd
Copy
net use N: \\server\share
4. Copy the VHDX from the
network drive or storage location to the destination PC's main
partition.
Copy
copy N:\VHDs\Windows.vhdx M:
list end
Attach the
VHDX
Attach the VHDX
list of 2 items
1. While still booted into WinPE,
attach your VHDX to the destination PC.
cmd
Copy
diskpart
select
vdisk file=M:\windows.vhdx
attach vdisk
2. Identify the attached VHDX's
volume letter. (Optional: Change it to another letter that makes more sense, for
example V, and leave the diskpart command
line open for the next
step).
cmd
Copy
list volume
select volume 3
assign
letter=v
list end
Step 4: Add a boot entry
Step 4: Add a boot
entry
list of 4 items
1. From your destination PC, open Diskpart (if
necessary) and identify the drive letters of the VHDX and the system partition,
for example, V and S.
cmd
Copy
diskpart
list volume
exit
2.
Add a boot entry to the device. You can add multiple VHDX files using this
method.
UEFI:
Copy
V:\
cd v:\windows\system32
bcdboot v:\windows
/s S: /f UEFI
BIOS:
Copy
V:
cd v:\windows\system32
bcdboot
v:\windows /s S: /f BIOS
3. Remove the WinPE USB key.
4. Restart the
destination PC.
If there's only one boot entry, the device immediately boots
to Windows. If there's more than one boot entry, you'll see a boot menu where
you can choose
between the available versions of Windows on the
device.

Brian:
As I said in my original posting, I
downloaded the latest Windows 10 .ISO yesterday. Last night, I
installed a fresh installation of Windows 10 as a local machine,
setting up my own user name and password.
After I completed the set up and
connected the ethernet cable and downloaded any downloads, I use the
command in the command line window as an administrator:
control userpasswords2
The Line "Users must enter a user name and password to
use this computer. check box checked ", is no longer there.
I believe, Microsoft, took this option
away in the 21 H1 release of Windows 10.
Now, if the only way to disable the
necessity of entering a password or pin code, is to remove them,then,
I will have to go that route. If possible, I would prefer doing that,
rather than creating a new administrator account, then removing the
original administrator account.

To Turn Off the Password
Entry Requirement under Win8 or Win10
It's
been working as long as Windows 10 has been around, to my
knowledge. And while I didn't turn the password entry
requirement off for myself, I did just fire up the command I
reference and the checkbox that's used still remains there and
accessible.

Joseph:
What do you mean by your BIOS being fixed? Do you
mean that the Boot sequence has been changed, so you can boot either from a
CD/DVD disk or, USB drive? You still need to use software, to copy the
information contained in the Windows10.iso file, to the bootable media. You
cannot boot directly from an .isofile nor,
can you install Windows directly from a Windows.iso file.

The first thing you should do, if it hasn't
already been done, to have someone with vision, who knows about
computers, to go into the system's BIOS and change the boot sequence, for
example, the boot sequence for one of my computers which still has a DVD is:
CD/DVD, USB, C.
If you are going to install Windows 10 from a
DVD, you will need to instal a program such as iMgBurn and, use it to copy the
files contained in the Windows10.iso file to a DVD.
If you are going to install Windows 10 from a
USB, you will need to instal software which will copy the files contained
in the Windows10.iso file to a USB memory stick.

Joe,
First, you should use F2 to rename the ISO
you just got to something like,
windows10October2022.iso
so you have a reference of its
version.
Also, then you should upload it to Nancy's
Open Drive.
I think there's a folder there

You should be able to.

know if it finished correctly or if that is the proper size.
I don't know if 4.45 GB will fit on a DVD, if
not, you will have to write it to a USB drive of 8 GB or more.

Joe,
First, you should use F2 to rename the ISO you
just got to something like,
windows10October2022.iso
so you have a reference of its
version.
Also, then you should upload it to Nancy's Open
Drive.
I think there's a folder there
called
software
and then others can have access to
it.

I used the latest Media Creation Tool, to
download and create the .iso image. Mind you, I used the same Media Creation
tool on 5 previous occasions, and got .ISO images for Windows 11.
I have copied the latest .ISO for Windows to
Dropbox. Below, is the link so you can download it. Let me know when you
have got it, so I can remove it.

As I said in my original posting, I
downloaded the latest Windows 10 .ISO yesterday. Last night, I installed a
fresh installation of Windows 10 as a local machine, setting up my own
user name and password.
After I completed the set up and connected
the ethernet cable and downloaded any downloads, I use the command in the
command line window as an administrator:
control userpasswords2
The Line "Users must enter a user name and password to use
this computer. check box checked ", is no longer there.
I believe, Microsoft, took this option away
in the 21 H1 release of Windows 10.
Now, if the only way to disable the necessity
of entering a password or pin code, is to remove them,then, I will have to
go that route. If possible, I would prefer doing that, rather than
creating a new administrator account, then removing the original
administrator account.

And while I didn't turn the password entry requirement off for myself, I

Glenn:
I have decided to leave it there for a few days, so
others can get it if they like. The file is Just under 3.50 GB. If you look in
the downloads folder, you will see 2 entries for the .ISO file, 1 will have the
extension .part, until the entire file has been downloaded. When that happens,
you will be left with 1 file, with the extension, .ISO.
I hope you got the entire file.
