New Laptop Windows 8.1 help
I just bought a new HP laptop with windows 8.1 and I messed up on signing up on Microsoft accounts and can't get into it and I tried to e-mail them but no luck, any ideas how to get a hold of them ?

from my understanding at least on the rt tablet, you need the account if you want to use their app store
Microsoft is just going the way of Apple, Google, etc. Just like those two companies, the Microsoft account is the gateway to their app store, cloud storage, etc.
I am not a Microsoft fan, but I do have a Microsoft account on my desktop that has Windows 8.1 and where my gmail account gives me access to all things Google. That way I can at least be aware of MS's app store and cloud storage even if I don't use them.
The OP doesn't say if his new 8.1 laptop is a touch screen system or not, but if not you might be interested in StartIsBack or one of the other apps out there to make 8.1 default to a Windows 7 desktop and Start Button.
