Microsoft really wants you to use a Microsoft account on Windows, to the point where it won't tell you how to make a Local one.
  • Microsoft removes guide on converting Microsoft accounts to Local, pushing for Microsoft sign-ins.
  • Instructions once available, now missing - likely due to company’s preference for Microsoft accounts.
  • People may resist switching to Microsoft accounts for privacy reasons, despite company’s stance.

    What instructions are you following? Last time I used Rufus on Windows, it had a graphical interface with reasonable default settings and zero messing around on the command line. (I mean, I sometimes did once I was booted into Linux, but I was using distros where that’s not unexpected.)

      If I remember correctly it was the instructions linked on the download Linux Mint page. I can’t say with 100% certainty though, since I did look at other instructions from other sources.

        I wanted to add an additional reply thanking you again for the screenshots.

        These visuals helped put the worded instructions in context for me so I was successful in creating and installing the bootable drive.
