Windows 10: 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

Windows 8 with 2 Microsoft accounts?

Yea, I would create a local account and just use your school account to login to Outlook and Onedrive.

Edit:
Here switch between local and microsoft account.

 

Creating a MS account without losing Local account

Go to https://account.microsoft.com, click Create account and fill the form:





With a Microsoft account you can then use OneDrive and Office Online apps for free. You can also use built-in native Windows apps which require a Microsoft account like Mail, Skype Preview, People, Calendar and download apps from Windows Store.

See steps 3 to 5 in this tutorial to continue using local account as Windows sign-in account even when / if you download apps from store and / or use Windows apps requiring a Microsoft account, to avoid Windows user account converting to Microsoft account: Store - Use when Signing in to Windows 10 with Local Account - Windows 10 Forums
