I've been using Windows 10 for about 18 months now and, really, from the article, I have NO idea what the heck they are talking about. The problem is typical: The article uses ordinary words from a standard English dictionary but uses them in new ways not in the dictionary and not yet common. A word used in this way is a term and needs motivation, explanation, discussion, examples, and, at the least, definition -- and the article has NONE of these.
So, to start, in what sense is a "local account" or "Microsoft account" an account at all? Does it cost money? Do I get account statements? Do I get invoices? Are there return privileges? What products or services are involved? I'm about totally to blow my stack in frustration -- what the heck is an "account"????????
Then let's continue with "local" and "Microsoft" ....
In particular, with a "Microsoft account", what passes between us, from me to them or from them to me? What the heck is going on? Me to them? Of COURSE, I want Microsoft to know as little as possible about what I am doing in life, computing, with Windows 10, etc. -- all that is just NONE of their business to know.
Does someone actually understand what these "accounts" are all about?
The article is less clear than mud, and apparently it is clear as air compared with Microsoft. Soooo, I canNOT be nearly the only one who doesn't know. So, can someone explain and get the rest of us caught up?
