Are you about for a Skype?
I have no clue what skype is all about. Or twitter or facebook for that matter. Confirmed Luddite.
I started out trying to avoid "signing in with an email address" but very soon realized that was just not going to work. On top of that Asus soon had me signing in to Xbox. No F'ing way! So I used an old one that I never look at anymore.
Here's how I fixed that other rubbish:
Automate login and bypass the lock and Start screens in Windows 8.1
