Well I answered my own question by trying this on a relatively unused account. The account used is passwordless (meaning you can only login using a passkey). The passkey are stored on 3 different Yubikeys, which should be redundant enough, but when I attempt to delete the email address...

Thanks in the past I did try to remove both years ago but Microsoft required that I have either an email or a phone.

Microsoft has been pushing passkey lately so I revisited my Microsoft Account. Based on the security settings, you can have Sign-in Method - what you use to login Password Security Key or pin or biometrics App - Microsoft Authenticator. Veriify method or 2FA. N ote that MS does not allow...

I remember seeing a post from a headset person indicating that he did not like bluetooth headset because a window update may render it inoperable. Maybe what he said is true.

Does this happen often with bluetooth and updates? I recall similar issues in the past and I end up replacing it with logitech dongles and usb headsets.

I have return to my computer and notice that my bluetooth mouse is no longer responsive, when I go to bluetoothsetting, it is no longer connected and cannot connect. I can't even reconnect unless I restart the computer. I have the latest drivers, which are provided by Microsoft. Has anyone...

I just have an idea on how to use the same network hardware on every computer. I will just use the same USB C hub on every box. When I create the rescue drive, it will contain driver for the NIC on the hub and when I transport the hub to the other computer, it will retain that NIC. I will try it...

Thank you so much!

So I created a boot media and want to test it out on the different windows machine I have. The first computer works fine, but the second computer, the bluetooth mouse didn't work but I can get around that with a USB mouse. How do I identify and download the network drivers? I notice that there...

Can I create a recovery drive and use it to back up a computer to an external drive with installing macrium?

By Recovery Drive, I mean that USB drive that Windows create to help fix our computer if it doesn't boot. My question is how important is this? Secondly, do I need to create this USB ahead of time. Can I just create a USB recovery drive from another Windows computer or is it individual...

My bad I meant to daily bitlocker. Looks like I cannot correct original post.

Thanks for the info, that's a bit disappointing to know that the system is inconsistently backed up. When I say the bitlocker recovery key, I am not referring tot he passkey but the encryption recovery keys. Windows, more often than other OS like Linux, ChromeOS, and MacOS has a tendency to...

I am wondering what gets backed up to OneDrive by Windows. According to the Windows Backup setting, it's Folder Syncing Remember my app Remember my preferences. I get what the folder syncing is doing. I think app preference is so you can reinstall apps. However does this only apply to Windows...

I think the last time I install Windows on a box it was roughly a year ago and I use the OOBE method to do it, but I heard MS has removed this. Last time around, the user wanted to avoid any windows account, but the intention this time around is not to avoid Windows account all together but to...
