Windows 10: Microsoft forcing people to open Microsoft account

How can Microsoft force people to open an account? They didn't pay for my laptop and tablets so why do I need to open a shi**y Microsoft account. You can't use your laptop unless you open an account, yeah sure you can cancel it after you set your device up. Why should I have to? They are forcing me to do something I don't want to. They obviously store your information even when you delete it, otherwise why force you to set up in the beginning. I'm sure somewhere it is illegal to force people to do things against their will, yet this jerk off of a company seem to get away with whatever.

App store and Microsoft account

Thank you for the advice

I see what you mean about the password but i think its a backward step to compromise my Microsoft password to to use the app store

 

Cannot link/add my Microsoft Account to Local Account

Hello Ken,

Im using Win10 Build 1607 with all latest update.

I also run all related troubleshooters:

• Windows Update
• Store Apps (says i have to login in my microsoft account but thats the problem, i can't)
• Microsoft Accounts

No Problem found. Also the suggestions from Microsoft didnt helped.

 

Forced Microsoft Account

Why do some new Windows 10 computers force you to create a Microsoft Account that you can then switch to a local afterwards? Why not just let people make a local account in the first place? This is such a waste of time considering most of my customers
don't need it and do not wish to disclose personal information for an account they will never use. Is this like a bank that keeps $1 accounts open just so they can exaggerate how many (unused) active accounts they have?
