Windows 11 operating system offers two login options one with a local account and another with a Microsoft account. If you want to sync all your data from Microsoft then you can use a Microsoft account to log in. It will sync all your passwords, settings, app and data, OneDrive data, and more.

If you log in with a local account then you will not get this data. When you use a local account, all your data will be saved locally. Unfortunately, if you delete any data you can not recover it. So, if you want to sync all your windows 11 devices then you can log in with a Microsoft account. However, you can easily switch between using a local account or a Microsoft account to sign in to Windows 11.

  • While not recommended, you can remove the account password if you like.
  • You’ll need to sign in to the Microsoft Store with a Microsoft account to download apps from the Microsoft Store.
  • Your settings won’t be synced across the PCs that you use.
