Cleared for Takeoff
I have a couple of computers with 8.1 on them.
When I bought a new one mostly for the wife to use, I decided to try to use it without the Microsoft Account. There are workarounds to get the setup, but every time I try to use an app, it takes me back to the screen trying to get me to enter a Microsoft account.
Is there any way to run apps on this OS without eventually giving in and getting a Microsoft Account?
Hint - this question is not about whether or not I should have or should not have a Microsoft account for my wife's computer.
The question is can I run 8.1 apps without it periodically returning me to the screen trying to get me to install a Microsoft account.
TIA
