Microsoft really wants Local accounts gone after it erases its guide on how to create them

www.xda-developers.com Microsoft really wants Local accounts gone after it erases its guide on how to create them

Microsoft really wants you to use a Microsoft account on Windows, to the point where it won't tell you how to make a Local one.

  • Microsoft removes guide on converting Microsoft accounts to Local, pushing for Microsoft sign-ins.
  • Instructions once available, now missing - likely due to company's preference for Microsoft accounts.
  • People may resist switching to Microsoft accounts for privacy reasons, despite company's stance.

  • the stupid thing is I still have my children and I adding our MS accounts after creating the local accounts, because I like setting the parental limits once for all the computers. I just can't stand the stupid email-based usernames it creates when signing into the MS account during account creation.
