    Or Microsoft who randomly needs to verify someone’s identity before they can log into.tgeir computer but the user doesn’t have a smart phone. So they need to call someone trusted to have them log into their email from a different computer just to get the code so the user can log into their computer.

    But that also means they didn’t have access to any saved passwords so a notebook helps.

    I really should put Linux on her machine but then I have to show her how to do that too. It’s a lose-lose so I keep it the same.

    I miss local accounts.

      You can still use local accounts with Windows 11. It’s just a bit fiddley. If you use Rufus to make your boot usb, there’s a bunch of deshitification options you can do.
