its their way to full give you a functional windows to test drive, apple does the same but its just standard managed systems instead with internal software loaded
@@yy6u I can't confirm this 100%, but apparently Apple uses completely separate batches of devices, just for the in-store demo units. They are supposed to be destroyed and recycled when that device stops being featured. They use a special OS on them as well, that erases everything after an hour, and geofences it to the Apple Store (or the retail store its being sold at)
This has some serious potential for misuse- hosting otherwise illegal files from a store with virtually 0 traces, even in a VM you could receive *infinite* email verification codes, etc. It's super interesting to think of how it could be abused
@@Sussy-Walter but the point is that it can be done from any computer in a store displaying this windows demo, which is basically untrackable, unlike making a new account on an owned computer
Oh my. I think that version of the Windows retail demo is only used on Surface devices, at least when I checked retail demo units, as I think some PC manufacturers and retailers don't support the official Microsoft RDX. I believe that the reason why Microsoft does that, is because Windows 10 and 11 have features that are directly tied in to Microsoft online services, and they'd need a way to allow users to try those out at the shop without running into error messages. It's sort of like with demo accounts on retail demo e-readers, and also on mobile OSes. (1:38) I believe that name changes depending on the shop info entered on the page shown at 1:05. (2:05) I may check some of that stuff on retail demo Surface devices if I can get away with doing so. (3:48) Also customisable based on the Surface or other device model (4:31) If I were just trying a Surface device at a shop, I would just click past that not noticing the e-mail address.
I'm pretty sure all retailers and manufacturers use Microsoft's retail demo solution. There's no reason to spend money on spinning up your own solution when Microsoft already did it for you.
I suppose that since Microsoft controls their account service, it's easier to just make a real full-featured Microsoft account for every RDX than to handle them like some weird edge case.
Interestingly the local account/Windows user has a localized Name - "Detlef Wagner" for me - although it's linked to the "Darrin DeYoung" Microsoft account
only problem is that MS could disable the email functionality, or the entire account, whenever they feel like it, especially when it hasn't been logged into from a windows computer for a while
@@jan_harald it would depend on how integrated the e-mail/account is for the demo. It might not be as easy as just removing the account for demo kiosks. That would be really funny if that was the case.
And actually after you enabled this mode, all of the accounts in the system will be disabled, but the personal data will not be cleared till you disable this mode. This action will really wipe your personal data on this computer. Ps: all the programs will be not deleted whether you enable or disable this mode
People are saying the password is trs10, but that's a typo that got copied everywhere; it is actually, or at least _was,_ trs80, but has likely been changed (maybe to c64).
For me this is just that the devs know how horrible Windows 11 is with a local account since he spam you "connect your account" and the most easy fix they had is to automatically create a new user for it... Like what the hell ?! Windows 11 is so horrible with a local user account that you need to reach that level for making Windows usable ?!
I actually wonder if someone could proxy the requests or do something similar to see the exact network requests made in creating an account and replicate that as a script 😂
the files on the cloud go to the recycle bin after the screensaver plays? the password to the account not known? with a help button leading to facts about the new operating system? retail mode sounds like cruelty
@@lenni-builder Depends on the store. The more likely they think that a customer will mess it up the more likely it is that they have set it. And yes, not all of them di it.
@@pbknowall6233 since it's a demo mode meant for demonstrating the product, there isn't any reason why it should have any other license than the free one.
I though this was a joke but thats not actually the case. So i can just get a 1 GB file. Store it with the ''demo'' account. never turn on the vm again, and have that file forever? if thats the case it would be super suprising.
