According to TechSpot , Microsoft is facing a lot of criticism from the user community when it quietly removed the instructions for switching from Microsoft accounts to local accounts on Windows 11. This move is believed to be aimed at forcing users to use online accounts, thereby easily collecting data and promoting the company's cloud services.
Microsoft criticized for 'forcing' Windows 11 users to use online accounts
TECHSPOT SCREENSHOT
Previously, Microsoft always provided detailed instructions on how to switch between the two types of accounts. However, the latest version only guides you from a local account to a Microsoft account, while emphasizing the benefits of using an online account such as service integration, enhanced security, and device syncing.
While users can still switch to a local account through the Windows Settings app, Microsoft's removal of official guidance has raised concerns that the company is deliberately pushing users toward a completely online experience, similar to what Google and Apple are doing with the Android and iOS platforms.
Microsoft's move comes as tech giants are increasingly under scrutiny for their collection and use of user data. Removing the local account option could leave users feeling like they've lost control of their data and are dependent on Microsoft's cloud services.
