    Is there a way to create a Microsoft Account and associating a PC with it, without having to log on to that PC using the Microsoft Login?

    There aren't that many benefits to a Microsoft Account to want me to have the hassle of having to login every morning when I switch the PC on.

    :)

    The license for the PC will still remain linked to the Microsoft account even after you switch back to a local account.

    It just won't show as linked on the PC without using the Microsoft account anymore.

    Think of the linked Microsoft account as your ID card automatically providing the info Windows activation needs. You have to manually enter the product key to activate when using a local account unless already activated or the key is embedded in an OEM PC's UEFI firmware chip.
