    What do you mean? You can create a new Spotify account with your e-mail. But I already gave up on Spotify since the web player is buggy and full of memory leaks. But I'm sure their…

    I wouldn't mind paying twice the price of Windows 10 Pro if I could select what I want installed and the OS respected that. No telemetry, no Cortana, no Windows Stores apps if I ne…
