REDMOND (dpa-AFX) - According to reports from Tom's Hardware, Microsoft
Corp. (MSFT) has made changes to its guide concerning the conversion of Local
accounts to Microsoft accounts for Windows 11 and vice versa.

Initially, the page only contained instructions for converting Local to
Microsoft accounts, but later included guidance for the reverse process.
However, the instructions for converting a Microsoft account to a Local one have
recently been deleted.

This change took place last week, coinciding with the launch of the latest
Surface devices. The original version of the page is still available through the
Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. When reviewing a Wayback Machine capture
from June 12th, the instructions for switching from Microsoft to Local accounts
included a warning emphasizing the benefits of using a Microsoft account for
seamless integration of services, enhanced security, and device synchronization.

Switching the login on your Windows 11 PC from a Microsoft Account to a local
account is a relatively straightforward process. All you have to do is navigate
to the Settings app, go to Accounts > Your info, and select 'Sign in with a
local account instead.'

There's some uncertainty surrounding whether the previous version of this
support page will be reinstated if Microsoft decides to update the guide, as
reported by neowin.net.
