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.

My whole company moved out of windows during the pandemic. It was all forced.

And surprisingly, after a year, it was pretty smooth.

Push your IT folks to do the same everybody. The money saved is significant. And the learning curve is annoying, but not as annoying as managing Windows.

It's not the IT folks who need to be pushed. It's the users.

Try and push “we’re all switching to Linux!” To a help desk team and let me know how that goes
