Thanks man. Short and simple and really helpful unlike other channels. Keep it up :)

Thanks for actually showing what happens _after_ you switch. Not knowing that is what was really intimidating me

Hello From New York City! Did Windows create a new home directory for the local account? Thank you for video.

After many years I bought a computer in December 2023. Did not know anything about a Microsoft account and used it and it required me to create a password AND pin (I don't really understand the difference). I used your wonderful video to help me develop a local account and I did create a new password. I restarted the computer and there was the new computer name, but it still wanted me to use a pin which was identical to the one I used for the Microsoft account. Confused.

When you switch to a local account in Microsoft do all your files and apps transfer over?

Hello Ken, I had trouble finding a tutorial that showed me how to set up my computer without putting in a password or pin but finding your tutorial did the job EASY! & QUICK. Most grateful. Jim (downunder). I am now looking for a simple tutorial to regain my Chrome Browser. Can you help? Cheers JD.
