Hi I have connected a HDD to my win 11 PC with an ide/sata adapter and am trying to wipe and encrypt with bitlocker. Problem is bitlocker keeps locking the drive mid operation. I have resorted to using PowerToys Awake tool to make sure that this is nothign to do with Win 11 not respecting the...

No the post by peanutkimkim (not a MSFT)

UPDATE AND FINAL RESOLUTION This initially appeared to be about having changed the primary alias on my MS account. This made no sense as MS clearly states that this should not cause any negative consequences and that any alias can be used to log into a MS account, as one would expect. When I...

Of course. I always post back outcomes so that if anyoen else ever wades through all of this then something somewhere in it all might help them. I have reported one of my posts on this thread to get an image removed. I stupidly left my name visible. Is that the best way to do that? I also...

OK thanks

Hi Thanks. Checking credential manager there is nothing tonight that is listed as MicrosoftOffice16 and don't think the rest of it applies ot me as I am not using MS exchnage...?

Is this where I need to look? Clicking on Manage my MS account takes me to my MS account page.

OK, so starting to work through stuff and your suggestions: Taking lots of screenshots and I am sure somewhere in there will be the answer. Starting here on Windows 10 these screenshots may be telling me something but not sure what it is. I had to add my microsoft account which I did using...
