New PC Win 11 regret

Bill F said:

I just bought 2 new HP computers with Windows 11. I can't stand how it constantly asks for usernames, passwords, PIN# and credentials. I can't get anything done. What on Earth are network credentials? I've tried my MS username and password but that doesn't work. I never created credentials when I first setup my new computers.
I have looked for help online but whenI follow the steps I don't arrive at whatever place has options, like boxes to check because the boxes are not threre.
I hope there's a way to turn off all this security nonsense because this is MY PC in my own home so who am I protecting it from?
After onIy 4 daysI am about ready to toss this thing into the trash.

I highly advise factory resetting those PCs.

I have one dell 7530 laptop I bought used, and it has no pin or password needed to logon it just says user
It is also activated with my MS account online
I think the refurbisher wiped the NVME drive and installed plain vanilla windows 11 pro
Or did a reset, who knows, but it has no bloatware, runs real nice , in perfect condition, and has a great touch screen and nvidia p2000 video card.

It is solidly heavy.

What surprised me is no scratches and battery is excellent. Paid $279, but 321 after shipping and tax

You should never see enter network credentials unless clicking a shared computer or shared folder from another PC

And supposedly a way exists on the share folder PC to turn off the need for a password protected share?
Meaning anyone has access without network credentials

Seller had said clean and in excellent condition, whoever had it never seemed to have used it
We will never use it to it's potential.
Kids play games on it and we just use it for web browsing

Nice find. Great deal.
