    It’s a button to manage your Microsoft account that you signed into windows with. It’s not shocking that it has an option to upgrade said account

    Edit:

    1. I don’t use windows, stop assuming things about me
    2. Everything you don’t like or don’t use isn’t an ad. This is no different than Gmail and Google chrome having Google drive integration.
    3. Microsoft has been forcing people to use online accounts for windows login, so it’s only natural for the account button to let you manage it as well.
    4. This isn’t an endorsement or a value judgement.

      I haven’t signed in with the Microsoft account in the first place.

        What about trying to install Windows 11 with a local account instead of using a Microsoft account?

        Shift + F10 -> Enter: oobe\bypassnro followed by… you know what? Try: format C:\. And install Linux already.

      That didn’t happen.

      And if it did, it wasn’t that bad. <–

      And if it was, that’s not a big deal.

      And if it is, that’s not Microsoft’s fault.

      And if it was, they didn’t mean it.

      And if they did, you deserved it.

      It’s not Microsofts account for starters, its also not their computer. Its a user account on the customers computer.

      Linux mint doesn’t try and steal your content to train an AI. It’s also a much nicer experience in a lot of ways

      Sounds like they are advertising a paid option.

      Seems a bit silly to comment confidently on changes happening within Windows that you don’t experience then, no?

        This isn’t out on windows neither. This article is a rewording of another article that seems to be a mix of data mining and speculation. So having the same information as everyone else, I don’t see any issue with commenting on it

      If you’re gunna simp for something you could at least have the self-respect to choose a thing that isn’t openly unstable dogshit.
