Setting up your new Legendary PC securely: adjusting user account & password

Step-by-step guide for Windows 10 and 11

When you purchase a new PC through Legendary-PC, you will receive a ready-to-use Windows installation with a pre-set user account by default. This makes it easy to get started right away. However, for optimal security and personalization, we strongly recommend setting up your own user account.

Tip from Legendary-PC:

Are you having trouble setting up accounts, permissions or passwords?

Or would you prefer a system that is fully customized and secure, including your own user profile, security settings, and software?


Then we can arrange everything for you!​

✔️ Personal installation

✔️Set by name

✔️Immediately ready for use
