    Sure, but if you undo it you will lose a lot of abilities and functions that are available, but it's really a matter of preference. If you don't use those features, who am I to tell you to use them?

    To convert back to local, just open Settings and go to Accounts, you'll see the option to "sign in with a local account instead" there, and it just takes a couple clicks.

    In Windows 8, all apps use the same menus so you don't have to learn again and again. No matter what app you're looking at, you can always point to the right corner and see the settings button.
