 ===== Knowing your LSCE computer =====
+==== Some practical details ====
 Your LSCE computer is your (best) friend. It can be useful to know its name, if you need to [[https://wiki.lsce.ipsl.fr/pmip3/doku.php/other:newppl:starting#getting_help_from_the_lsce_system_administrators|get technical help from the LSCE admins]]. One of the ways to determine the computer name is to use the [[https://wiki.lsce.ipsl.fr/pmip3/doku.php/other:bios#from_windows|msinfo32 command]].
+==== The available accounts ====
 You will use the following accounts on your **Windows** computer:
-  * your regular ''your_login'' LSCE account, **followed** by the ''@LSCE.IPSL.FR'' string: ''your_login@LSCE.IPSL.FR''
+  * your **regular ''your_login'' LSCE account**, **followed** by the ''@LSCE.IPSL.FR'' string: ''your_login@LSCE.IPSL.FR''
     * the password is the same one you use to access the LSCE ''obelix'' servers
-    * you may also have to use ''your_login'' (**without** ''@LSCE.IPSL.FR'') and this password when accessing some links on this page, located on the LSCE intranet, from outside LSCE
+    * this account will work even when you are not connected to the LSCE! Read [[other:win10config#starting_your_computer_faster|Starting your computer faster]] if you don't like waiting when opening a session
-   * the administrator account, that you will need when changing some of your computer's settings, or when installing/updating some programs: ''.\admin''
+    * you will also have to use ''your_login'' (**without** ''@LSCE.IPSL.FR'') and your LSCE password when accessing some links on this page, located on the [[https://intranet.lsce.ipsl.fr/|LSCE intranet]], from outside LSCE
-    * use ''.\admin'' in the popups asking you for an account with //admin// privileges
+   * the **administrator account**, that you will need when changing some of your computer's settings, or when installing/updating some programs: ''.\admin''
+    * use ''.\admin'' in the popups asking you for an account with //admin// privileges, or possibly on the Windows login screen
     * the specific admin password was initialized by the sysadmins when they configured your computer. Send a mail to [[https://wiki.lsce.ipsl.fr/pmip3/doku.php/other:newppl:starting#getting_help_from_the_lsce_system_administrators|help-lsce]] if you forget it
+  * your **local account** that you may need in some **rare** cases (e.g. when trying to activate your Microsoft account on your LSCE computer, which may not be what you want)
+    * use ''.\//your_login//'' on the Windows login screen if you need to use your local account
+    * if you don't know the local password of your local account, use the ''.\admin'' account to change it, or ask [[https://wiki.lsce.ipsl.fr/pmip3/doku.php/other:newppl:starting#getting_help_from_the_lsce_system_administrators|help-lsce]]
+      * there is a good chance that you don't really need to use your local account... Ask [[https://wiki.lsce.ipsl.fr/pmip3/doku.php/other:newppl:starting#getting_help_from_the_lsce_system_administrators|help-lsce]]
+  * Your **Microsoft account**
+    * Warning! Using a Microsoft account on a LSCE computer may have some side effects, like having to use your Microsoft password (instead of the LSCE password) to unlock your computer, which could be inconvenient...

+===== Connecting to your Microsoft account =====
+It's possible that you have a Microsoft account linked to your LSCE or a gmail email address. Using a Microsoft account makes it possible to recover some settings from another Windows computer, or reinstall applications that you have bought through the Microsoft Store. But using a Microsoft account on a computer configured at LSCE can also have some unforeseen side effects...
