    Microsoft sign-in as opposed to local sign-in


    Recently Microsoft seems to have changed my 'users'. It is set up for a Microsoft sign-in instead of my local user sign-in. Two questions: 1. Is it possible to revert to my old local sign-in? 2. I notice that there is also something called 'new-user' in my file structure which appears to be different from my old local user. What is 'new user'?Thank you!

    :)
