    Will closing my Microsoft account render my Windows computer useless?


    I would like to delete/close my Microsoft account. I'm not subscribed to any of their services and there are several attempts to hack into my account daily from people across the world. I'd like to delete the account as I have no need for it and do not use any of the products/subscriptions. My computer uses Windows to operate. If I delete/close my account, will that disable my computer? I don't sign in to any Microsoft program to turn my computer on or to use it. So will I be okay? Additionally, will I still be able to use Microsoft Word keep, access, and create documents, as I don't sign in

    :)
