Yeah, this is bad. Microsoft is sometimes really, really stupid.

No, Microsoft isn’t stupid. They are smart enough to bend with the wind when it blows in from the NSA.

Got to disagree here. Microsoft knows many of the customers are stupid and they need to protect them from themselves.

Can anyone tell me why Windows 10 will not let me copy the img of pictures to post them on the web?

Yeah, this is bad. Microsoft is sometimes really, really stupid.
Bill Gates nearly released Windows 95 without a browser, because he didn't think the Internet would be a thing. So, yeah.

The website listed to go to for signing in to your Microsoft account is not a Microsoft site. How do I know that is not a phishing site meant to get info on how to break in to my computer?

There’s a simple answer, you should have purchased a Mac! People who buy PC’s are like the British continuing to buy British cars. It gives them something to work on every weekend instead of taking a drive!

I was under the impression that you can install Windows 10 without ever logging into Microsoft.
I don’t know how wholly accurate this article’s suppositions are.

Another solution is to employ another program to encrypt individual files.
i use this nice little program named 'AxCrypt' to encrypt individual files under Windows. It integrates nicely with Windows Explorer.

Sounds like another reason to NOT load Win 10 or, if you do, another reason to not create a Microsoft account.

If you’re dumb enough to create a Microsoft account when you first install your Windows OS, you deserve what you get.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE A MICROSOFT ACCOUNT TO USE WINDOWS!

Unless you have a reason folks, and a serious competence with the subject, DON’T encrypt your drive.

I did mine right, on that last link, it says I have no backed up keys. I did bitlocker with local only. It’s not that hard.
