17. Talking from the new one

Appears AppData transfer was successful, haven't downloaded Thunderbird or FireFox yet.
Ad for this said windows 10 home, it gave me 11 without asking me. Went to check on pictures
and others, everything I want to open.....up pops the "Enter your Microsoft password" crap

They made me open/start an account with Microsoft with a password, I never set a password
to start the computer, but they want the Microsoft password to start up and everything else.

I'll go through settings to see if I can solve some of the issues, planning on downloading
Thunderbird first to make sure it works OK and if it does then I'll get FireFox.

Thanks for all your help, Mike
