Switch to local account or reinstall with local account
Hello.
So i am new to Win 10, and recently did a Windows 10 Home edition test install on a separate harddrive (using Win 7 atm). I installed using the Microsoft account method, as i thought this was the only option. I recently found out that it is possible to install Win 10 Home with a local account as described in this tutorial (fantastic tutorial btw.).
In hindsight, i should have done the "local account" method, as I will only be using my account on this one PC.
Are there any negative side effects (e.g. performance-wise) of the "MS Account" method over the "Local account" method?
I.e. should i keep it as it is?
or
Should i switch my install to a "local account" (as described here)?
or
Would it be better to do a completely new Win 10 install using the local account method?
