November 19, November 24, Hi Scott, Thanks for this tip. But can you also share how-to tips on downloading apps from Windows Store, without logging in to Microsoft account. You see, not all people in the world have their laptops or desktops all for themselves only. Usually, these devices are shared for use among family members. Or, at work, some laptops and desktops are not supposed to be password protected, more so, with login options that are linked with one's personal Microsoft account, because these are institutional properties and not private properties.

So, it's a no-no to save personal files on these devices. I use Microsoft account in my personal devices like Surface RT, though itself is irritatingly bugged by many issues, and also in my personal laptop as well. No problem with that. But logging in using personal Microsoft account on devices shared with my family is not a good idea.

I haven't downloaded any apps or music from the store, nor do I intend to, don't have Skype, Outlook, etc, don't use SkyDrive Hi, thanks for the post.

However, i can't seem to follow it. As ketan has asked, i do not know what you mean by 'express or custom settings'. I can't find such a choice here. So, please, tell us what is your step 0.

Anyway, what i do : Windows store, try to install an app, it asks for my local password, then ask to set up a Microsoft account.
