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.

Back in my day you could turn on the computer and operate it without anyone knowing. Our "internet connection" was demonic screeching from hell on the telephone and you didn't need it to play solitaire.
