Hands-On Windows 120: Local Windows 11 Accounts

Description

To be clear, we recommend that most people do not sign in to Windows 11 with a local account as you will have a better–and safer–overall experience using a Microsoft account. But more sophisticated users who know what they're doing can use a local account securely. And doing so can eliminate some of the bad behaviors we see in Windows 11, in particular the silent, forced usage of OneDrive Folder backup.


If you prefer using a local account, this episode can help you do so using the more secure possible configuration.
