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

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.

You have a whole community backing you! And once you've installed the OS, you'll feel like you can conquer the world.

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!

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