Microsoft really wants Local accounts gone after it erases its guide on how to create them (www.xda-developers.com)

Microsoft removes guide on converting Microsoft accounts to Local, pushing for Microsoft sign-ins.

Instructions once available, now missing - likely due to company's preference for Microsoft accounts.

People may resist switching to Microsoft accounts for privacy reasons, despite company's stance.

Linux Mint (or Linux Mint Debian Edition), is one of the most user friendly Linux distributions out there. This is especially so for people used to Windows.

You can run Mint on a bootable USB drive, fire it up, and get a sense of how it feels running on your home setup. I'd highly recommend trying this with a few different Linux distros, to find one that you like.
