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.

I recently installed it on a Dell laptop (work) to dual boot, and it seemed pretty much as simple as installing windows.

I’m a daily Linux user and had been using other distros in VMs, but I still wanted to try it.
