On my personal computer I have both a Local and an MS Account.
I was reading some tech info (on a reputed tech web site) on W8.1update2 and came across this rather interesting statement
".... if you are logged into your computer using a Local Account and then if you login to a Microsoft Account (e.g. an Outlook.com email) from your Local Account, W8.1 will automatically convert your Local Account to an MS Account and the process is irreversible, in other words you cannot convert the account back to a Local Account....."
That sounds like nonsense to me. It also seems to sound like nonsense to Mark Kaelin of TechRepublic who about a year ago authored the article at the link below. What makes me stop and think is that Mark wrote his article with regards to W8.1 before Update 1 or Update 2. Is it possible that MS has changed the Account rules in U1 or U2....?
