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.

        I know I’m going to eventually switch over. I’m curious how it ends up going with your install.

          Slow going but better than my first attempt. I at least made the bootable usb now so this is huge progress for me!

            Good to hear! Let us know if you need any help with the install - some computers will try to fight the install, others are much more amenable to it. As long as you follow the instructions from the Linux Mint page, you should be fine.

            Cool. I figured it’d be a long process, an all day project. I just “fear” the possible complexity.
