Re: [WIN8] Can ypou log on to WIn8 without internet?

Wait. Let me see if I understand this. With Win8 you HAVE to have internet access in order to use the PC? What if you want to install it on a PC that never has web access? I have a PC that I use in such a way. It has no modem, NIC etc ... It has no way of connecting to the internet. So in that case I can't use Win8?

Of course that's not true. If you want to use win8 with cloud services, you'd probably need to connect to the internet - win8 works just fine with all local user accounts (you must make one local admin account on first install, even if you use your live account as your login account.)
