Learn how to switch to sign-in with a local account in Windows 11.

Windows 11 recommends signing in with a Microsoft account, but you can also sign in with a local account.

• Microsoft account: Settings are synchronized, sign-in is common to other apps
• Local account: Unique account for one computer

Since the settings are synchronized with your Microsoft account, the settings will be inherited even if you sign in with another computer.

Since the local account is unique to one computer, it can only be used on that computer.
