Microsoft removes documentation for switching to a local account in Windows 11
But most Microsoft account sign-in workarounds for Windows 11 continue to work.
Microsoft's decision to remove the option to switch to a local account in Windows 11 could be seen as a move towards encouraging users to adopt their ecosystem and services.
By requiring a Microsoft account for installation, they are essentially forcing users to be part of their online world, just like AOL did in the past.
This move might be a way to generate more data and create a seamless experience for users, integrating them into Microsoft's services and products more deeply.
It's a strategic business decision, but it could also be seen as a restriction of user freedom, privacy, and choice.
