Microsoft is testing new banners for Windows 10 to make users with local accounts switch to Microsoft Accounts. They are rolling out as part of the latest Release Preview update for Windows 10.
I wouldn’t recommend it, tbh, but I’m liking Windows 10 Ameliorated. It’s a hassle to set up drivers for every single device, and sometimes you need to do some tinkering to fix things. It also doesn’t get Windows updates (but has a much smaller attack surface due to so many things being disabled).
So, for your typical “I just want it to work and I don’t disable malware ads” user, I wouldn’t recommend it. But, for power users, it’s nice having a Windows machine that’s essentially de-Microsofted. It also made my shitty old laptop a lot more responsive.
