I use OneDrive but not on my Surface or Venue 8 Pro anymore, so it's getting turned off.īecause of the change to OneDrive in Win10, I don't use it as my goto storage. Originally, as I never had one, I purchased a Windows 10 phone to 'try something different' - a decision which is going to be regretful. :))Įdit: In my Edit mode, here on / I can see the screenshots, which I had added, but they aren't showing up in the post (for me?!).

I have, as of yet, been unable to create an account, which is NOT a Microsoft account, with which I can - for example - access the store, to install Viber (the simplest, possible, thing cannot be done, without getting sucked-into the Micro$oft account machine, or so it would appear I'm still not giving up on this, hehe - gonna factory reset the phone & try again. This new phone, which they had given me back under warranty - whether it was due to running Update & security (Backup, Find My Phone), Phone update: Screenshot I had received a slightly (?!) older 550, which had been returned as factory faulty (very misfortunate, as I now find out), it was possible to: All settings, Accounts (Your accounts, email, sync, Kid's Corner), Your email and accounts - Accounts used by other apps (Add a work or school account) it had been possible to add an account there, which would've worked with the Store, to enable me to download (& install) software to the phone - a non-Micro$oft acct.Īn account SEPARATE from a/the Microsoft account, which is integrated with Services (such as Skype, Syncing, Spying) & have a fully functional device. On my (Windows) Lumia 550 Phone: I have not set up an account yet, but when I go to Contacts - the names are labeled as 'Microsoft account'.

& yet, would've gotten hammered with negative votes - had you guys not intervened /posted.
