No, a local account is permanent, not tied to a MS account. I like having a local admin account in addition to any others just in case down the road you have an issue. The extra admin account can be used to recover. Also, if you go with a limited account for security for your main use the admin account can be used for administrative tasks restricted on the standard account.
I rec’d my new R11 desktop the other day and this weekend to set it up. I have already installed onto a usb, the Recovery tool. does the PC already have me as the administrator? If not how do I change/set that up?Besides personalizing (look of the desktop) - what else should I do?   I gather that next to check for driver updates via my logging into my Dell’s website.  My next step will then be to move my storage hard drive (stores docs only) from my current pc to the R11. thx
