  1. How can OneDrive be used with "local" not "Microsoft" accounts?


    My wife and I share a new PC which replaced one running Windows 7, so I set up local accounts for each of us. We much prefer having our personal accounts be local and not tied to our regular email addresses or connected to Microsoft for everything we do. However, we would like to be able to use OneDrive to back-up our files. I hope this is possible. OneDrive seems to expect an email address to set it up for an account, so we would be willing to set up special Outlook.com email accounts for this specific purpose. We would then expect to have to provide the password to access OneD
