Re: [Nvda-devel] NVDA and Windows 10 compatibility: yes, compatible with caveats (unofficial confirmation)

Yeah my fiance found an article, see:

https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-10/4260/windows-10-drops-reliance-on-microsoft-account

So I'll probably just install with the local account, hopefully that 
means it keeps my existing local account from 8.1, and ignore signing up 
for an MS account unless it's necessary, since nobody really seems to 
have much of an idea of what it actually does.
