I always used a local account on Windows until Microsoft made it nearly impossible
For as long as I can remember, I have always set up my PC using a local account. It was because I prioritized privacy over a bunch of services I didn't really need, and I didn't want Microsoft tracking my usage patterns. But that changed with Windows 11, where Microsoft made it nearly impossible. Although there are still ways to set up Windows 11 with a local account, it's more challenging than ever. On earlier iterations of the OS, you could just choose "Local Account" during setup, but now, you need to run a command which, honestly, most Windows users are unaware of. Additionally, you can switch to a local account after setup, but that isn't a common choice either.
