    Thought they did away with local accounts, or is it just buried and extremely annoying to do local only

    This would be more acceptable if they didn’t unconditionally use software encryption by default. But, nah. Microsoft is going to Microsoft and force their preferences down the consumer’s throat, and there doesn’t appear to be a way to upgrade it to hardware encryption without a wipe and reinstall.
