“So what happens if the user acct. has not set up anything like email, user name, MS account...?”
MS “phones home” anyhow. This has been a dirty little secret for years now. We have always figured that is why it takes so long to boot up and shut down. And why they are now forcing an internet connection on everyone to use it.
But to be fair, they are not the only ones. If you have any Google apps installed on your machine they do it also.
