Windows 10: Linking Win 10 to my Microsoft Account

To be short: I am wondering about the pros and cons of linking my Windows 10 to my MS account.


And, I am unclear if doing that will change my login to my local Windows 10 installation. (My desk top with win10.) I currently use a local pw (administrator).


Thanks for any info.

Remove Microsoft linked account in Windows 10

This question refers to steps 3 and 4 in the thread How to rename the User folder in Windows 10?<br>
The troublesome steps are:

3) Remove original Microsoft linked account<br>
4) Link local account to Microsoft account if you wish

I was stuck on those 2 steps. I couldn't find a way in Windows 10 to remove the Microsoft account.

Any ideas?
