Microsoft removes documentation for switching to a local account in Windows 11

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.
