Computer froze up.

[DR M]

Hi, Ron.

Any news? Have you installed Windows in your new disk?

[ron350]

 DR M thanks for asking.

I might have to have surgery soon and don't want to risk killing my only computer faster than my old XP.

   PS: Last week i did atempt to change the boot sequence.
I moved USB to the top of the list and DVD second then Hard drive.

Wish there was a way to test to see if I actually changed anything.

[DR M]

I wish you a fast recovery, Ron.

At least, make sure that you have your backup ready. You never know when a disk will completely fail.

[ron350]

Thank you.

Every thing was going fine till i got to a page titled: Let's add your account.

 it wanted my email and my email password and when i entered them it said my password was wrong.
 I then backed up and entered my phone number and it said that was not a good phone number.

 I am stuck.

[DR M]

Are you sure you used your Microsoft account and password?

[ron350]

 I don't have a Microsoft account that i know of.

 

[DR M]

You will need one now. There is an option on the screen where you were asked for your account, to create a Microsoft account if you don't have one.

 Somehow it bypassed that page and i am now using the new hard drive.

 I hope this is good and i did not mess up.

 Now i need to find out how to open EDGE with my yahoo.email page like i have it set on the old HD.

ron350,

You got past that page before I could post my possible solutions.  So I will not post them!  But the basic gist of the solutions was to simply "disconnect from the internet while you are going through the setup process."

Some of us prefer not to establish a Microsoft Account for whatever our various reasons (probably mostly privacy-based reasons).  My understanding is that one can always establish a Microsoft Account later if one wishes to, but that it is not absolutely necessary for Windows 10 setup.  (But Microsoft does not make it easy to figure this out!)

If you should need to explore the issue further you can do what I did and do a search for "reinstall windows 10 without microsoft account".

Since you have gotten to where you are talking about Edge and yahoo email chances are that you have not messed anything up.  I suspect that you will find out when you have to re-boot at some point.

As for your question,

Now i need to find out how to open EDGE with my yahoo.email page like i have it set on the old HD.

I am going to interpret that as saying that what you want is that whenever you open Microsoft Edge you want the first or opening tab to show your Yahoo email page.  If my interpretation is correct then try the following steps:

1.  Open Edge;
2.  Go to the Yahoo email page that you wish to be your start page and copy the page's url address from the address bar at the top of the browser;
2.  At the top right hand corner of the browser you should see three dots " ... ".  These are for "Settings and more".  Click them -- (or you can also just type the "alt and f" keys) -- and then scroll down to and click Settings;
3.  Once the Settings screen pops up, on the left side scroll down to and click "Start, home, and new tabs";
4.  On the next screen the first option in the middle of the screen will say "When Edge Starts".  Choose the "Open these pages" option;
5.  Underneath this last option you will see "Pages" on the left and on the right there will be a rectangle with "Add a new page".  Click the rectangle;
6.  A pop-up will appear; paste in the Yahoo email page url address that you copied in # 2 above and click "Add"; (you may add additional pages if you wish).


That should do it.  From that point onward whenever you start Edge the first tab should always be the Yahoo email page that you set.  If you set up more pages then they will be in additional tabs.

V_V thank you so much for those instructions.

I spent the last 2 hours attempting to find those instructions. Every thing i found was wrong instructions.

 Already have a glitch. Instead of going to screen saver it sometimes just goes to black screen.

Hi, Ron!

So now you have a new disk, with a fresh Windows system! Congratulations!


v_v and Ron:

Why I wanted Ron to sign in with a Microsoft account when he was about to install Windows:

The disk was new and he was installing the OS from scratch. A Microsoft account would connect the activation number with the account digitally. Let's say that for any reason the new disk failed suddenly. This connection would allow him to install Windows in a new disk without having the activation number. He had it of course, but in case he didn't, that could be a blessing. Otherwise, he would have to buy Windows.

In case he didn't want to continue with the Microsoft account later, he could change it, by creating a local account. Simple.

 Thanks DR M

  Wow another 2 hours wasted atempting to install the HP printer drivers from factory CD.

  Every time i try i allways end up with this.

 "HP Lase Jet P2030 series setup interrupted"

 "Setup was interrupted before HP Laser printer was completely installed."

  Never mind the date on the HP CD is 2008.
