In a sly move, Microsoft has removed the online help page that shows how to switch to a local account on its Windows 11 operating system.

Microsoft keeps making it harder to use local accounts with Windows 11

To the surprise of no one, it's just a matter of time until local accounts in personal windows editions are removed entirely.
- I bought a pro license because of basic features being stripped out of home over time - here's to hoping it's ONLY home licenses that get abused.
  
  They don‘t even stop at enterprise level. You have to adjust a lot using intune and other tools to make windows enterprise not a privacy nightmare that may even be illegal to force your workers to work with.
  
  Have you tried a non Unix distribution from our lord and saviour Linus
- Won't happen. A majority of windows users are corporate and they use windows domain.
operating system
You misspelled "spyware with a program loader strapped to it".
- First I'm hearing of CachyOS, very interesting! Have had my eye on Zorin, personally, as it seems like a pretty clean transition from a life of Windows. Haven't looked at how it does with games.
  Can't quite get past the hump of needing Autodesk and Adobe software to be functioning flawlessly and easily accessible. A VM might suffice but that also sounds a little clunky and need to test it out.
They should add a button that installs Linux XD
- i mean while not a button, they have a command line prompt for it technically, wsl --install
  
  cd c: del *.*
- That's what edge is for, I guess.
As much as I hate advocating FOR subscriptions. If Microsoft told me for $10 a month I could just have windows with all the options for me to run it HOW I FUCKING WANT as opposed to how they think I should. Id pay it.
- Just install win7
  
  Out of support
  Though a subscription for Windows to just be Linux is a silly premise
- I will be looking into this further, thanks for the tip.
Windows is a good Linux advertisement
Linux is a good *BSD advertisement
*BSD is a good Plan9 advertisement
Plan9 is dead
Guess I'll live in the woods 🤷
