我应该使用哪一个(Which one)-本地(Local)帐户或Microsoft帐户？哪个(Which one)更好？在本文中，我们将详细讨论这一点，以便您做出明智的决定。
什么是Windows10中的本地帐户？
Windows 用户多年来一直使用本地帐户登录；但是，现在，人们改用Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft Account)。管理员或本地(Local)帐户是一种用户帐户，其中数据存储在您的本地计算机上，您使用此帐户所做的任何更改都会立即在您的 PC 上生效。(Administrator)管理员(Administrator)可以更改安全或其他设置，也可以更改其他用户帐户。
本地账户的优点
如果您是使用本地帐户的人，那么这些是您将获得的一些功能：
- 您可以创建自己的强密码，其他人无法访问它，因此您可以放心地确保强大的安全性。
- 由于您没有使用您的个人电子邮件 ID 登录到您的计算机，因此当您输入您的凭据时，它不会显示在您的登录屏幕上。
- 在本地(Local)帐户中，您的所有设置和偏好以及计算机用户在计算机服务器上都是安全的，不会在远程服务器上中继。
- 如果您没有Internet访问权限，您仍然可以使用所有功能，因为本地帐户不依赖Internet来访问这些功能。
本地账户的缺点
如果您使用本地帐户而不是Microsoft(Microsoft)帐户，我们还可以看到您必须面对的一些缺点。
- 在本地帐户中，您无法访问令人印象深刻的功能，例如为您打开应用程序新世界的Microsoft Store 。
- 您无法随时随地访问您的数据。
- Microsoft帐户最吸引人的特点是其云存储在本地帐户中不可用。
什么是 Microsoft 帐户？
微软(Microsoft)重命名了Windows Live ID并将其称为Microsoft帐户，因此如果您使用任何服务，例如Hotmail、Xbox Live、OneDrive、Outlook甚至Windows Messenger ，那么它会自动归入该帐户。您可以使用一个电子邮件 ID 和密码轻松访问所有服务。
微软帐户的优点
Microsoft Account比 Local Account功能更丰富。让我们看看使用 Microsoft 帐户的一些好处。
- 如果您是语音助手的粉丝，那么Microsoft帐户可以为您提供完全相同的功能，Cortana可以作为您的个人语音助手。
- Microsoft帐户为您提供一个应用商店，类似于Google Play Store或 iTunes App Store，称为Microsoft Store。您可以在 Windows 10 中使用Windows 应用商店(Windows Store)，该应用商店同时存储付费和免费应用程序、音乐、娱乐、体育、摄影等，就像Google App Store一样。
- 与本地帐户(Local Account)不同，Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft Account)可让您随时访问您的信息数据，因为您的数据在线保存。
- 他们的云服务OneDrive不仅可以让您更轻松地保存和访问数据，还可以让分享更轻松、更快捷，如果您不想花时间分享内容，那么您只需授予您的朋友访问权限即可使用文件。
- Microsoft帐户使您能够同步所有数据、密码、网络配置文件，并且与Windows App Store相关的所有设置都可以在Microsoft帐户中同步。
- 如果您忘记了密码，您可以通过Microsoft(Microsoft)网站轻松更改密码。

微软帐户的缺点
好吧，一切都有好有坏，没有什么是完美的，微软(Microsoft)帐户也是如此。它有两个缺点。
- 同步所有信息可能会有所帮助，但如果碰巧被黑客入侵，那么黑客将可以完全访问您的桌面以及您使用的所有Microsoft服务，这可能会导致您蒙受金钱损失。如果您以任何方式共享了您的登录密码，那么他们可以看到您在Microsoft服务上的活动。
- 与本地帐户不同，您的所有数据都存储在Microsoft服务器上，而不是您的计算机上。好吧，如果您没有互联网连接，那么问题就会出现，因为您的Microsoft帐户中没有互联网就无法访问数据。
Microsoft 帐户与本地帐户
Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft Account)和本地(Local)帐户都相似，唯一的区别是Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft Account)可以提供非常棒的Microsoft功能。如果您无法选择正确的，那么最好进行比较。
本地(Local)帐户和Microsoft帐户之间的主要区别在于本地(Local)帐户(Account)中缺少Microsoft功能，例如OneDrive、Microsoft 应用商店(Microsoft App Stores)等。因此，与本地软件(Local Software)相比，Microsoft上的数据可访问性更快、更容易。
在Microsoft帐户和本地(Local)帐户中，您可以创建自己的密码，但更安全的是您在本地(Local) 帐户(Account)上创建的密码。
与本地帐户相比， Microsoft(Microsoft)帐户中数据被黑客入侵的可能性更大，并且在前一个帐户中数据丢失将是主要的，因为它将您的所有密码以及Microsoft设置同步到Microsoft服务器上。
选择更适合您的取决于您的需求。对于那些不想访问音乐(Music)、Xbox、OneDrive等令人印象深刻的功能的人来说， (OneDrive)Microsoft帐户可能不是一个引人注目的交易。
如果您只想在单台 PC 上访问数据而不想在其他任何地方访问数据并且不关心Windows App Store，那么本地帐户(Local Account)是您的首选，因为它允许您拥有自己的个人空间，其他人无法访问.
因此，我们可以说Microsoft帐户适用于多任务处理者和想要功能丰富的体验的人。但是，如果您想要更安全的本地化替代方案，请选择 Local Account。

Local Account vs Microsoft Account; Which one should I use?
Which one should I usе – Local account or Microѕoft account? Which one is better? In this article, we are going to talk aboυt this in detail sо that you can make an informed decision.
What is a Local Account in Windows10?
Windows users have been using the Local Account to log in for ages; but, now, people are using Microsoft Account instead. An Administrator or Local account is a user account where data is stored on your local computer and any change you make using this account is effected immediately on your PC. Administrators can change security or other settings, and also make changes to other user accounts.
Merits of Local Account
If you are a person who is using a Local account then these are some of the features you will get:
- You can create your own strong password that no one else can have access to it so rest assured strong security is ensured to you.
- Since you are not using your personal email ID to log in to your computer, it won’t be displayed on your login screen as you enter your credentials.
- In the Local account, all your settings and preferences along with computer users are safe on the computer’s server and not relayed on remote servers.
- If you do not have Internet access you can still use all the features as a Local account does not depend on the Internet for the features to be accessed.
Demerits of Local Account
We can also see some of the drawbacks that you have to face if you are using a Local account instead of a Microsoft account.
- In a Local account, you can not access impressive features such as the Microsoft Store that opens a new world of apps for you.
- You can’t access your data whenever or wherever you want to.
- The most attractive trait of a Microsoft account is its cloud storage that isn’t available in a Local account.
What is a Microsoft account?
Microsoft renamed Windows Live ID and calls it a Microsoft account, so if you were using any services such as Hotmail, Xbox Live, OneDrive, Outlook, or even Windows Messenger then it automatically comes under it. You can easily access all the services with a single email ID and a password.
Merits of Microsoft Account
Microsoft Account is more feature-rich than Local Account. Let us see some of the benefits of using a Microsoft Account.
- If you are a fan of voice assistants then a Microsoft account offers you exactly the same, Cortana is there for you as your personal voice assistant.
- Microsoft account offers you an app store, similar to Google Play Store or iTunes App Store which is called Microsoft Store. You can use the Windows Store in your Windows 10 that store both paid and free apps, music, entertainment, sports, photography, etc and is just like Google App Store.
- Unlike Local Account, Microsoft Account lets you access your informational data any time you want as your data is saved online.
- Their cloud service, OneDrive not only makes it easier for you to save the data and access it but also makes sharing easier and faster and if you don’t want to spend your time sharing things then you can simply grant your friends access to use the file.
- Microsoft account enables you to sync all your data, password, network profiles, and all the settings related to Windows App Store can be synced in a Microsoft account.
- If you forget your password, you can change it easily via the Microsoft website.

Demerit of Microsoft Account
Well, everything has good and bad nothing is perfect so does Microsoft account. It has two demerits.
- Syncing all the information may be helpful but if by chance, it gets hacked then the hacker will have full access to your desktop and all the services of Microsoft you used that can cause you monetary loss. If in any way you have shared your password of the login then they can see your activity on Microsoft services.
- Unlike a Local account, all your data are stored on a Microsoft server and not on your computer. Well if you don’t have an internet connection then the problem will arise as you cant access data without the internet in your Microsoft account.
Microsoft Account vs Local Account
Both Microsoft Account and Local account are similar, the only difference is that Microsoft Account can offer pretty awesome Microsoft features. If you are not able to select the right one then it is better to compare.
The major difference between a Local account and a Microsoft account is the lack of Microsoft features in Local Account such as OneDrive, Microsoft App Stores, etc. Because of this accessibility of data is faster and easier on Microsoft as compared to Local Software.
In Both Microsoft account and Local account, you can create your own password but the more secured is the one you made on your Local Account.
The probability of data getting hacked is more in a Microsoft account in comparison to a Local account and the loss of data will be major in the prior one because it syncs all your passwords as well as Microsoft settings onto the Microsoft server.
Selecting the one better for you depends on your needs. Microsoft account may not be an eye-catching deal for those who do not want to access impressive features such as Music, Xbox, OneDrive.
If you are a person who only wants to access data on a single PC and not anywhere else and does not care about Windows App Store then Local Account is your go-to as it allows you your own personal space that no one else has access to.
So, we can say that the Microsoft account is for the multitasker and someone who wants a feature-rich experience. But, if you want a more secure localized alternative then go for a Local Account.
