Using Office 365 Personal on a Win10 PC with only a local login

I have a Microsoft Account, but my Windows 10 system uses a local account for desktop login.

 

If I purchase Office365 using my Microsoft Account, will I be forced to change the login in my Windows 10 system to match the Microsoft Account, or can I authenticate my license by logging in within Office, keeping my local Windows login for the desktop?

 

Thanks

    No, you wont be forced, but next time you reinstall the PC might be a good idea to use the Microsoft account.
