Has a Microsoft account become mandatory?
I bought a laptop with Win 10 Pro in 2016. It's now running 2004.
I bought a desktop with Win 10 Home in 2017. It's now running 1809.
Neither of them has a Microsoft account.
I don't have one. I don't want one. Not ever. Not ever. Not ever.
Both boxes simply have my name as one account and my wife's name as the other.
In the future, if I buy a new Win 10 box (or if I update the existing boxes to newer releases of Win 10), will I be required to create a Microsoft account?
I get the impression that MS is forcing this to be so.
