I did this on Windows 10 not because I didn't want my Microsoft account linked but because I wanted my username to by my first name and not like part of my first and part of my last name.

I feel like recreating my account as a local one for this reason. I hate not having control over the filesystem and hate not having a normal looking username

For real, I've been less annoyed with some of the usernames work has given me than the shit Windows 10 thought was a good idea.
