This is the scenario, I bought a laptop from dell which has windows 8.1 installed on it, I let the guy from dell configure the operating system, now, when I want to add an account, I discovered that I should create an account in Microsoft to be able to add an account on the laptop, I am just wondering how can the guy from dell configure my local account, did he add an email? an email that I dont know? or is it possible to configure windows 8.1 without adding an email account just a local account, if he add an email just to be able to create my local, how can I discover it? Can someone help me on this, I search the internet and search about how to change the email address associated with my local account, but I cant do the procedure because the options are not available in my laptop, I am wondering maybe the guy from dell only add a local account, attach here is the picture that I am talking about, please can someone tell me if I only have a local account

OEMs often have special software --- provided by Microsoft --- for installing the operating system. By the way, it is possible to add a local account yourself, but it is obscured by the new app interface. – jpaugh – 2015-05-13T03:45:29.273

I submitted an answer. Based on the questions you actually asked. Honestly I would just create a new user, then connect that user, to a Microsoft Account of your choice. Without the picture its hard to consider this question helpful to the community. – Ramhound – 2015-05-13T10:58:07.397
