And after you do that, update it to Windows 10 (or backrev to Windows 7) - anything but Win 8. 😩

I don't know about Win8, but when I disabled the PW in Win10, I now have to use a PIN. If I disable that, I have to go back to a PW.
I might try this later, but why does it have to e so difficult?

EDIT: I remember that I tried this before, and I don't have gpedit, so I can't even begin. I'll see if I can get the netplwiz method to work.
