Is there a difference between setting up an account as a personal vs business?
Just wanted to make a local account but it kept asking me to sign into a Microsoft account when I tried to set it up as a personal account. Went under the business or school option, then the option ...
Different type of accounts with their benefits:
MS Account: Good to sync with Microsoft services/apps across your system. No need to sign to apps individually.
Local Account: Traditional account type, stores your account locally on device. If you forgot it's password, you may need to reset system.
School/work account: Used to connect with work or school resources setup by your IT admin. Governed by their applies policies.
Now you can choose the best account which fulfils your need.
