I use a Microsoft account because of the way it syncs my settings automatically across all the PCs I use.

1st off, Welcome to Windows 10 forum samabba!! I personally prefer using my MS account, works best for me. But here is a link for you to read that will show you the differences between the 2, maybe this will help you decide. :)
