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.

Couldn't you do that in a VM with GPU passthrough? I use that approach for all kinds of stuff, including Gaming (with Looking Glass and SSD passthrough)

Also, some Photoshop version from 2021 runs pretty well in Wine: https://github.com/LinSoftWin/Photoshop-CC2022-Linux

I dabbled with VMs some years ago, 3dStudio just didn't get the graphic interfaces up at all.

If anyone has been lucky, please do tell!
