I got the computer, turned it on and started setting it up. The programming trapped me into setting up with a PIN for Microsoft account to sign on. I was required to give a phone number without distinguishing whether it was land line or mobile. I have only a land line and gave that number.
Later in the process the PIN did not work, and I was required to request a onetime security code which was probably texted to my landline phone number. When I could not enter the security code, the programming locked me out of the computer for 30 days as a security measure until Microsoft is satisfied that my account is not being stolen.
Long story short, the computer is sitting unusable my me while I wait to see what Microsoft is going to do after 30 days.
