Hi, I'm looking to setup a laptop I have laying around with an insider build of Windows 10. For insider builds you're required to run with at least one Microsoft account, but upon converting my local account (or starting anew with a Microsoft account already) all of the settings I had previously synced get downloaded and set in that machine as well.

 

I know it's possible to disable sync after you have the account set up and all but I'd rather have all settings to their defaults since the last time I used an insider build was more or less half a year ago already.

 

Is it even possible? I looked around and found mostly dead ends, there was a page for Windows 8 in OneDrive where you could supposedly delete synced data if you had it disabled first or something but it's showing nothing for me there. And I don't have access to the previous machines were I had my data synced since some were virtual machines that just got deleted at some point.

      Toshiba's massive 22TB X300 PRO hard drive is 29% off by Taras Buria Toshiba is offering its highest-capacity X300 PRO hard drive at a new all-time low price, allowing you to save 29% or $171 on the massive 22TB drive. The X300 PRO hard drive lineup offers good performance, and it is rated for high yearly workloads, which makes it a great option for creative professionals or other tasks that require storing a lot of data. The X300 PRO is a 7,200 RPM conventional magnetic recording (CMR) 3.5-inch SATA 6Gbps internal hard drive with 512MB of cache, which is also paired with the Toshiba Cache Technology for improved real-time responsiveness during high-demand loads. It also has additional features for better reliability, such as ramp loading (heads rest to a side of platters to prevent damage when the drive is idling or powered down) and shock sensors. Toshiba claims that the 22TB X300 PRO is rated for up to a 300TB/year workload rate and 1 million hours of mean time to failure (MTTF). This makes the drive a good choice for workstations, multimedia systems, or network-attached storage. Additionally, each drive has a limited five-year warranty for additional peace of mind. 22TB Toshiba X300 PRO High Workload Performance HDD - $428.99 | 29% off on Amazon US This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

      This is an example of why it is so difficult to have a conversation with conservatives - they refuse to operate in good faith. You say "Those are not rights. Those were special treatments that were taken away that non-trans whatever didn't get." Which means you either failed to read any of the links I provided or you are lying. The very first link is about how the U.S. Military is firing trans people out of the military because they are trans and denying them retirement benefits. What other groups does the military treat this way that would support your assertion that they had been treated as special previously? Does the miliary routinely fire large numbers of its members and deny them retirement and was heretofore not doing that to trans people? I fail to see the logic in your argument.
