I recently received a donation at our non-profit from a school of some 13 in. HP Streams with Win 8. When I go to install Win 10 on them from a USB, I am asked for a login and password, which I don't have. Is there any way to reset Win 8 so that it is free of logons and passwords?

The initial difficulty was bypassing or resetting Windows 8 passwords to facilitate the upgrade, with suggestions involving tools like Hiren's Boot CD and NT Offline Password Changer. Ultimately, the user resolved the installation issue by changing the USB drive configuration from MBR to GPT, enabling successful Windows 10 installation; the thread concludes on a note of troubleshooting and learning.
