With Windows 8, Microsoft added its own app store.
Now, in Windows 10, it doesnt totally suck.
However, you may prefer to keep a local accountfor privacy reasons.
If you do, though, some Windows 10 featureslikeCortanamay not work.
Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them.
you might still jump in to your Microsoft account forjustthe Store without switching to a full Microsoft account.
The process, however, is not terribly obvious.
To do so, stick to this:
Launch the Store from your Start menu.
poke the user icon next to the search box.
Click Sign-in from the menu that appears.
Choose Microsoft account and enter like normal.
When the Make it yours box appearsdo not key in your password.
Instead, click Sign in to just this app instead.
You may miss this option entirely if you attempt to install apps directly without signing in first.
While it can be prevented by reading carefully, its also easy to miss.
If youre using a Microsoft account tied directly to Windows, this obviously wouldnt be a problem anyway.
However, installing Store apps requires a Microsoft login.
This way, you dont have to tie that login to your entire machine.
