Adhoc Ally: Setting Up (or Converting) to a Local Windows Account
14You probably heard that Asus Ally forces you into setting up your new Ally with a Microsoft account ... or maybe you've already set it up with a Microsoft account but would prefer to only use a local account.
In this video, we'll show you both - we'll start with a "first run setup" of an Asus Ally with a local account, then we'll show you how to convert your Ally to a non-Microsoft local account.

There are several reasons why someone might want to run Windows without a Microsoft account, including:
- Privacy
- Security
- Hackability
- Internet access
- Syncing settings across devices
- Being locked out of other devices
- Giving access to personal data
- Giving access to a child's PC
- Giving access to a PC that you plan to sell, give to a friend, or donate to a charity
- Not sending personal data to Microsoft when creating an account
- Having the account exist only on your Windows 10 or Windows 11 computer
- Having the password stored locally
- A thief or hacker could get access to all your apps and services simply by knowing your password
Anyway, the choice is yours!
