I don’t want my local Windows account to be synonymous with an online login. Weird as it is - because I’m willing to admit this is a personal oddity - I find that distinction matters to me. Using an online account to log into my personal PC breaches the distinction between the two. I connect to the latter to download files, read news, and watch content, but it is not the totality of my personal computer. To me, my PC and “the internet” are two entirely different things. I’m willing to cop to the fact that this may be an artifact of the time in which I grew up. And they aren’t the reason I will never log into a Microsoft account in order to use my own PC. While I find these strictures annoying, they aren’t problems for your average PC user.
I recognize, however, that I’m a niche case. If I am attempting to benchmark the behavior of two specific versions of Windows, an OS that forces me to update to the latest version as a condition of installation literally prevents me from doing my job. I am not interested in creating a burner account to handle this task and I do not always need to connect a testbed to the internet. I build and wipe testbeds on a regular basis. Speaking as a reviewer, this requirement is ludicrous.
