have to have an email address, when you first set up windows 8,
select an 'Other' account. You won't be able to use the windows
store, but other than that everything will work fine.  Once set
up you can set up a login password for your windows account, in
User Accounts, from Control Panel.  Does that answer your
queries?  The first thing I need to say is that I did not know
that. I thought, from starting Windows 8, that I needed to
supply an email address, so I am grateful for your post and, in
a sense, it answers my question. I expect to go back into the
system and re-install it using your suggestion.  Thank you very
much for your help.  But it still leaves open the original
question. If Windows 8 was setup using an email address and if
that address disappear
